Things are going a little slower than expected but we hope to be fully converted by the end of August. Goju-Ryu Kata (Gekisai Dai Ichi) - Instructions & Videos This page will help you to learn the Goju-Ryu kata - Gekisai Dai Ichi. This is the first main kata for Goju-Ryu Karate. The meaning of Gekisai Dai Ichi is "Attack & Destroy One". For the meaning of other Goju-Ryu kata, please visit the section on Goju-Ryu kata meanings. Written instructions for this kata are provided below the kata videos. There are 12 official "core" katas for Goju-Ryu. However, the Sanchin kata is occasionally separated into two katas by some schools. Therefore, people are sometimes confused and think there are 13 Goju-Ryu katas. In addition, some Goju-Ryu schools and organizations borrow katas from other styles and they might use more than the official 12 katas. You should also read the Black Belt Wiki section on Is Kata Useful or Useless? as it discusses the pros & cons of kata. For additional Goju-Ryu Karate katas, please visit the main Goju-Ryu Katas page. To learn other Karate katas (i.e. Shotokan), please visit the main Katas & Forms section.
