Chapter 3: The Kyusho (Vital Points)

True Okinawan Goju-Ryu is a healing art and a hurting art. Volume 2 often features anatomical charts overlayed with striking points (急所).

Volume 2 specifically picks up where the introductory volume leaves off. While Volume 1 typically covers basic stances (dachi), blocking (uke), and striking (tsuki/waza), Volume 2 is known among collectors for diving into:

3. Partner Drills (Yakusoku Kumite): Pre-arranged sparring that teaches distance and timing.
4. Breathing Power (Ibuki): The distinction between soft (soft/normal) and hard (hard) breathing techniques unique to Goju.
