"History and Stories of Goju-Ryu" tells the history of Goju-Ryu Karate through biographies of its major historical figures. This book introduces for the first time, information on many prominent and lesser known historical figures of Goju-Ryu karate that was not previously available in English. The book is the result of intensive research by the author and translations of many notes, articles and pages from other books such as the Okinawan Karate Kobuo Jitten. This book covers all the major lineages of Goju-Ryu and it is one of the most complete and up to date accounts of Goju-Ryu history published up until now. This will surely be a "must have" for all serious practitioners of Goju-Ryu Karate and Okinawan Karate as a whole who are interested in learning more about the people that had a role in its teaching and propagation.
