Traditional Okinawan
Goju-ryu Karate-do
Expert Insights
If you're a student or instructor of Goju-ryu Karate-do then you're already on a journey of training and personal development that can last a lifetime.
Here's how you can make the most of that journey with proven training methods and ideas from some of the most experienced traditional goju-ryu experts in the world.
If you're ready to take your karate training to the next level, you won't want to miss this unique opportunity to
follow in the footsteps of some of the world's leading practitioners!
My name is David Oddy and I'm an instructor of a goju-ryu dojo in Syracuse, New York. I've had the tremendous opportunity
to train with some of the world's most prominent experts of goju-ryu karate-do and have collected my training insights from
the past 25 years into my book and accompanying interview series:
The Goju-ryu Karate-do Study Guide and Interview Series
As I'm sure you'll agree, you simply cannot learn karate from a book. Direct training under a qualified instructor is vital. This book is not designed to replace your own personal instructor, but rather as a self-study guide to make the most out of the training you are already receiving.
Along with key training insights and ideas, this book will provide home-study plans to make the most out of your time outside the dojo between regular training sessions. Whatever your training schedule, the ideas presented will give you the opportunity to progress in your studies.
This Collection of Goju-ryu Karate-do Resources is Now Available for Everyone!
Now, with the permission of the experts I've interviewed, I am excited to help spread our
passion for Traditional Goju-ryu Karate-do training through this website. No matter what your
current skill level and training background, I'm confident that you will enjoy these unique insights and that they will bring
your own enjoyment of goju-ryu karate-do to a new level.
But don’t just take my word for it, here’s what other people say about this unique collection of material:
"...tons of great information relating
to Goju ryu and Okinawan karate in general. It will enhance your
understanding of the principles and training methods taught at
the main Goju ryu dojo in Okinawa (the instructors there learned
from Chojun Miyagi himself!)"
"And the interviews with the some of the longest training Goju
practitioners around the world are "worth their weight in
gold." Where else
can you get the insights, stories and accumulated knowledge of
these top karate-ka in one place without travelling hundreds of miles
spending tons of money?"
● Sensei Matt Dorsey, 7th Dan Isshin-ryu
"Fantastic work David! I will be ordering the whole of it! Absolutely great, man!"
(And then after ordering the complete study-guide...)
"This is an excellent comprehansive study guide for all levels of Goju-Ryu
Karateka. I would (and have) recommended it
to everyone who practices/teaches Goju-Ryu."

"Excellent section on partner work and Karate training philosophy and mind set."
● Sensei Tom Malone, Goju-ryu Instructor
"This is a must have for the serious practicioner."

the Goju ideals! It will become

knowledge of the subject."

a new level to the history that is passed down via written text."

"I have such a greater appreciation for the knowledge the people in these interviews have to offer. Can't wait to get my next one! Keep em coming!!!"

I know you’re probably still skeptical and a bit on the conservative side - especially when it comes to Internet promotions. That’s why we want you to try the sample chapter and interview compilation – completely and totally risk-free! (I’ll tell you about my guarantee in a moment).
Which of these powerful insights could benefit your karate training?
- The key concepts of using traditional training equipment (kigu) to develop amazing striking power.
- Bringing Sanchin and Tensho back to a place of extreme importance in your training.
- A method to make sure none of your kata are neglected in your training, while still allowing deep focus in each.
- New ideas for developing solid basics and making sure that as you progress, you don't end up simply as an "Advanced Beginner".
- How to bring an element of "aliveness" into your partner training to make sure techniques work outside the dojo - where it counts.
And to make this even more valuable...
...instead of offering The Goju-ryu Study Guide and the expert goju-ryu karate-do interviews only in separate purchases, each of which alone is
valued at $39.95 or more, I'm bundling the Goju-ryu Study Guide plus four of my favorite interviews into The Goju-ryu Resource Collection for one low package price.

These interviews are each over an hour in length and contain a detailed conversation about training and teaching experiences as well as dozens of insights that you can use immediately to improve your own training.
Best of all, these resources are delivered in digital form which means you can get them instantly and listen to the recordings on any media player.
Okay, so what’s the cost for this incredible resource?
Well, realize that this entire collection could easily sell for over $250 if packaged separately and shipped
in print and on CDs. In fact, if you were to pay for the production, handling and shipping costs of the printed
documents, I would have to charge well over that amount!! Imagine how much training and experience
is represented by each of these items and what it would cost to visit and train with each of these experts.
But I'm not going to charge you anywhere near that amount...
...or even the discounted price that I charge
to send hand-printed copies and CDs. In fact, due to the reduction in costs
that the internet has afforded me, your total investment for The Goju-ryu Resource Collection is only $47.50!
Together, these bonus items plus The Goju-ryu Resource Collection, if purchased separately,
are worth eight times more than your investment in my comprehensive package. However it’s all
yours for the low price of only $47.50 when you order by midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on 2/5/2012.
100 Percent Risk-Free Guarantee
Your satisfaction with my products is completely
guaranteed for 30 days. In fact, here’s my 100 Percent Better-than-Risk-Free Guarantee:
I personally guarantee that if you don't believe your purchase is worth every penny you
spent, for any reason, then let me know and we’ll issue you a prompt and courteous refund.
Plus, the free bonus gifts are yours to keep regardless, just for your trouble. I only ask that
you delete your copy of the other items and send me a brief
email to let us know why you weren't completely satisfied.
Is that fair or what?
That means you can read my book, listen to the interviews and try the work-out plans
at my risk, while you see if they work for you. And if you're not completely satisfied, I honestly
want you to ask for your money back. And I'll let you keep the free bonus gifts as my way of thanking you for giving The Goju-ryu Resource Collection a try.

tuition costs and seminar attendance fees you are probably already paying to gain detailed knowledge of goju-ryu karate
training. The insights you will get from The Goju-ryu Resource Collection will be worth every penny of that small amount
when used to augment your current practice.
