Much appreciated! Wow! Very awesome that I'm getting reach all the way over in England. Thanks for giving my channel a shot and checking out my little achievement 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations, my friend! Keep following the good path of Karate-Do. The Goju-Ryu style is spectacular, very solid, and with strong techniques. Keep it up! I also started recently. Great video and greetings from Chile
Thank you, I'm aware how it's supposed to be pronounced. I tend to say "ree you", very rarely say "Rai you". But if I do it's cuz of the Street Fighter character when I was a kid lol. Congratulations btw! And thanks for watching 🙏🙏
Much appreciated! I hope to make Martial Arts a lifetime journey. Exploring many different types as I go (time providing of course). I will be sure to keep you all updated along the way! Thanks again 🙏 Naixin & Xiexie 🙏
Karate brother, also support from a shotokan practitioner- i know and respect Goju very much. Well done, that's a LONG time for a kyu grade and lots of work. Well done! Respect 🙏 oss. PM 2nd dan shotokan JKA/JTKI
Although I identify as Non-Binary, I still appreciate the sentiment 🙏 Happy to have the support of a high level Shotokan like yourself! Means a lot. It warms my heart to see different styles able to celebrate hard work within the Karate world. Domo Arigato 🫸🤛
I thinking of starting karate. Just for defence and i do bodybuilding already but when i got older 42 now. I got sacred to fight or say something back when badmouthed.. ppl Day karate is boring. I dont like the ppl on kickboxing so really wanna start karate..can i deed myself in a fight with it?
@-Highlander-42 Short answer is Yes. Karate (depending on the dojo and style) should teach you valuable self-defense skills you can use to protect yourself in a physical altercation. The caveat with this is you won't learn this right away, it will take years of training and practicing the art to be remotely efficient in it. The person who commented about the sparring is also correct. If you don't do proper full contact sparring on a regular basis, you're not going to get a feel for what a real fight is gonna be like. Even then, fights are more aggressive and faster than sparring. Usually happen when we are least prepared as well. So keep that in mind. I think Goju-Ryu Karate is a great Martial Art. Teaches technique, form, and discipline. It was one of the 3 original styles that were born in Okinawa, and was specifically meant for self-defense.
Kyokushin is a branch off of Goju-Ryu from my understanding (minus head shots, and more body conditioning). So yes, I imagine there's quite a lot of Goju in Kyokushin :-) Thanks for asking! 🙏
What a fantastically strange question! Lol. I assume you're not referring to my facial hair, but to the Snake Bites? They're piercings. Probably fairly dated style but I like em.
@@thesharphandpath Turns out that little thing says a lot. And it allows us to make assumptions and judgments about things like tradition versus modernity, aesthetics versus practicality and those things are the essence of TMA. Of course, those assumptions may be wrong, but the way a martial artist presents himself is super mega ultra important. Lastly, I'm not judging you, I'm just giving you unsolicited advice, you can do whatever you want with it.
Geez lol And people tell ME I take myself too seriously. Thanks for taking the cake my friend. You're right, you don't know me, and are definitely jumping to conclusions. I take Martial Arts seriously. The way I wear my headband works for me, it keeps the sweat outta my eyes just fine. It also likes to slide up to the top of my head, I don't have time (or care) to micromanage it. I'm proud of where I've come from in the arts. I may not be as flexible as I'd like to be (due to age and injuries). But even that I feel I can slowly better myself at. So comment all the implied insults that you like. It ain't going to affect my journey or way I see myself. Judge not, and all that. Peace.
well done buddy ...just discovered your channel....blessings all the way from england xxxxxx

Thank you very kindly 🙏 I appreciate the support! Very cool that you've also picked up the arts. I wish you success in your journey, cheers! 🫸🤛
Congrats! I earned my orange obi yesterday in Goju Ryu too. What a coincidence! Btw, Ryu is pronounced /riu/, not /raiu/.

depends on how you train. if you spar realistically then definitely yeah

Is Goju ryu similar to kokushi

Goju-Ryu is one of the 3 original styles from Okinawa, known first as Nahate. Aka The Hand Of Naha.
What's under you lip?

@@thesharphandpath So your LGBTQ?
Interesting assumption! But yes.
Do you realize the headband goes over the eyebrow so the sweat doesn't drop and get into your eyes? Do you? Otherwise Congrats.
Definitely doesn't "have to". Works just fine for me. What a silly thing to try and nitpick lol.
