The Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate practiced at Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan developed through the combination of the hard hand techniques of the Okinawan people and the soft circular movements of Chinese Boxing. This style became known as Goju-Ryu Karate, or hard-soft way. Practitioners learn how to combine soft blocking tactics with quick strong counterattacks. Much emphasis is placed on speed so that blows are delivered in rapid succession. Goju-Ryu employs breathing exercises as well as dynamic tension katas. It is Goju-Ryu Karate that is taught today in the schools of Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan.
