All students of Goju-Ryu worldwide
are required to learn the twelve kata
or forms of the style. They are the
backbone of the style that contain
many defensive and offensive
techniques. Kata is essential for self
practice and character building. They
are required for all promotion tests
from early white belt to the highest
black belt levels. Kata allows a
student to achieve self defense
reality at accelerated levels limited
only by his or her imagination and
physical ability.
A perfect karate exercise and tool
that doubles as a filter and test for
insincere practitioners or those only
interested in learning how to fight.

basics nearly always excel in
