The videos you and Sensei Zoe all create are great. You are helping me perfect my practice, and helping me progress much faster than my sensei’s expected. Thank you
This means so much to us, Vanessa! There are often days when we wonder whether we should keep producing content - comments like these always find us at the right time
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre I'm glad this comment found you at the right time. I'm sure there are many silent observers who are very appreciative of all the valuable content you guys make. I only wish you taught here where I live. But at least we can all learn from you here
Thank you, Sensei! Thanks Zöe Sensei and Brian. You're a great team! I really like the way these flow drills are presented and how you're linking it to kata/bunkai. I'm looking forward to seeing more in the future.
Between the three of us, we have a karate genius, a crash test dummy and a producer! Thank you so much for the lovely comment - it was a fun video to put together ☺️
Hey, you're doing a better job than me! I can't figure out how to do it (yes even though it's my name) but I actually fell out of the habit because the umlaut used to break so many online forms, that I just left it off, and got used to it that way 🙈🙈
at 14:34 a varation is to grab the back of the gi neck (simulating grabbing the hair) swing the left leg behind you as you step in with the right leg. Also dont bend at the waist but stay in line with the waist, keeping to your center line, as you circle. Produces a hard throw. Another varation is to go in under the arm with your right arm sweep. Wrap it around the neck as you go to your right knee. This produces a strangle with the Ukes arm pinned against his head. We used to call both these techniques "Mack Truck" because when done fast and hard it feels like you were hit by a truck.
Finally I can comment. Loved the video as usual. Interesting ideas. Thank you Sensei Che for keeping your inquisitive flame alive. I have been reading a lot. I recently saw a kakedameshi picture and instantly this video came to mind. Sensei Che came to mind. I couldn't help but think if this is how kumite was really practiced when Goju wasn't even Goju and Miyagi Sensei was practicing Naha-te under Kanryo Higaonna. I also read a book that you guys might have read. It's titled "Wandering along the way of Okinawa Karate. Thinking about Goju-Ryu." I've thoroughly enjoyed the book and I'm looking at my karate differently. I also thought about Sensei Che when reading it because he said he was always a curious student and there's a couple of pages where the author challenges the reader to think about a student who always asks questions. Anyway, as always I get lost in words and thoughts. And by the way, do not shorten the videos please. They are genuine as they are. Every.Word.Is.Needed!
Ah, what a beautiful and thoughtful comment! We don't have that book, but we will definitely add it to our wish list, and keep an eye out for it 📕 Once upon a time, before we got all hung up on styles and titles, on respectability and litigation, karate really was brutal and effective - its important not to forget that, especially when some try to seek validation from sports or governing bodies rather than turning to their history to find the root of what we do. Ché was very nice to the person who said he talks too much - I put chapters in for those who want to skip to the techniques. I didn't cut it, because we like to make the videos we want to make (we're not here to be youtube stars, after all!) and sharing our thoughts with our karate friends is an honour and a delight every week. Your special comments, feedback and support of our content is proof that it isn't wasted :)
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre yay! I really really recommend the book. Both of you will enjoy the book. I’m planning to buy a kata and bunkai book by the same author as he goes more in depth in that book, but the one I mentioned is a really lovely one. And I get it, feedback is always good. But there are times when talking is really necessary and this video was such example. After all this is your channel and if you’re not getting many people telling you something then I’d guess you’re doing quite good. As I said you guys decide what to do in your channel, if you want to do kata on a handstand so be it! Thanks for all you guys do. It never goes unnoticed or unappreciated 😊
Ah, so kind, Steve! One day, if you ever happen to be in our part of the world, we would be delighted to have you train with us! One of our dreams is to travel and teach - maybe one day, we'll be in your part of the world ;)

@@GojuRyuKarateCentre, and humble apologies to Zoë Sensei for misplacing the umlaut onto the wrong vowel. 😬
I’ll get it right next time. 😃

@@GojuRyuKarateCentre Absolutely Perth Western Australia is a beautiful part of the world, turn up and I'll show you around.
Considering the number of Australians following our channel, it might be worth our while to visit one day!
Nice drill. Thanks for sharing
No problem 👍Thank you for watching and commenting!
I found the "small potatoes" (hill of beans reference) hilarious.
Any time my random little chirps make someone laugh, it is a delight!
Thanks everyone who prepared this vids.
A great movie to watch is "art of self defense" a 2019 comedy and psychological thriller. Oss🙏🙏🥊🥊👊👊🥋🥋
A couple of people have recommended it - we will definitely make a plan to watch it!
Thank you for the lovely comment :)
Great work ❤️👊🏼

Yellow William Sensei
There is an armour in the background... and it should be used as personal protective equipment, methinks. ;)
We even have the helmet and shin guards as well - we can dress the Deshi up like a baseball catcher 😂
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre : we you start dressing him like this, I think, he'll run away feeling that something gonna happen very painful. :)))
RIP sensei Shuichi Aragaki🥊🥊👊👊🥋🥋🙏🙏
And soon it will be the anniversary of his passing as well 🙏🙏
Thanks sensei, glad to hear from you again.
hello everyone.
Yay, welcome back!
