Very cool Shihan. Do you know the approximate time frames for either of those names? One of the most complicated things with Okinawan martial arts’ history is figuring out WHEN people were teaching there.

Good article. In addition to Go Kenki, there was another Chinese martial artist in Okinawa, named Tang Dai Zing. My teacher, Grandmaster Trias was taught by a Chinese named Tong Gee Tsing, who had also trained in both China and Okinawa.

Let me know how the book goes when you read it. I am thinking that book reviews may be my next thing to do – I have a pretty large collection laying around and most deserve some kind words and free publicity. Speaking of free publicity – I enjoyed reading your site http://adaptiveshotokan.yolasite.com Oss!

This was a great read, I haven’t delved to far into history of Goju-ryu. So I can see why, as you said in the article, it would be rare for me to have run across his name. I read avidly across style’s and school’s of thought, but have neglected Goju a bit. I ordered a book, Ryuho No Hon; Scot Mertz that discussed Goju in fair depth I believe. I haven’t received it in the mail yet. Also Scot is another student of my teacher, so out of respect for his work I need to read it. Hopefully, it will fill in the gaps for me. Looks to me though like your article already has. Osu.
