Karate / Okinawan Goju-ryu / Fukyu kata / ko-chu-ge

Since the Fukyu kata teach the basics, grandmaster Meitoku Yagi decided to include the Fukyu kata in his Meibukan School. Although many other Okinawan schools and 'style's, mostly Shorin-ryu, practice the Fukyu kata, they differ in techniques and performance, but the embusen (pattern) often remains the same. In this video you can see the Fukyu kata performed with a jodan ko uke, chudan tsuki and gedan osea uke in kokutsu, heiko and shiko dachi.

More information on the Fukyu kata can be found in the book 'Karate Goju Ryu Meibukan' ISBN 978-1-933901-29-9
