Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate

Michael Stelzer’s course concentrates on eight Goju-Ryu kata rather than a broad beginner syllabus. Each is presented with explanatory teaching and demonstrations from different viewpoints. This makes the course most useful for revisiting patterns and technique relationships already being introduced in supervised training.

What you will learn

• Recognize the sequence of the selected Goju-Ryu kata
• Compare explanatory and full demonstrations
• Observe posture, direction and technique transitions

Who this suits

For karate students who already have foundational instruction and want a supplementary view of Goju-Ryu kata.

Before you enroll

The published total is 41 minutes, updated in March 2021. The intermediate filter is an editorial assessment of the kata-focused scope. Demonstration speed is not a practice target for a beginner. Platform completion is not a rank test, and applications involving another person need qualified supervision.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Choose a kata you already know and record its main direction changes. Compare the front and side views to identify a transition you had misunderstood, then ask your teacher how it fits your school’s approach.
