Great presentation. You've given me a lot to think about. I like the simplicity, yet complexity of Goju. Much to analyze and meditate on. Thank you Sensei.
....as always, excellent content. Even if one only takes one aspect/point from the video and internalises it, the worth is immeasurable. Karate-do is truly a lifetime study.
Good question (that I address in the video to some extent). Having said that, during a research expedition to China in 1987 to find the roots of goju ryu karate, I witnessed a number of different methods of sanchin kata - some of which uses closed fists (and a combination of the two). Looking at goju ryu's sanchin kata, it features a combination of both closed and open hands.

Thanks for taking the time to comment with your thougths.
Why did the Okinawan's change it to closed fists ..... when it's origins from white crane did it with open hands ?
