GoJu Ryu means hard and soft. A person must have a balance of both to get it right.

Chojun Miyagi created the system based on what he learned from his master, Kanryo Higaonna. Higaonna studied under two Chinese masters as well as a native Okinawan (Seisho Aragaki). The style teaches circular blocks, proper breathing, strength, and fighting in close. Goju-ryu is traditionally characterized by shorter stances, the circular blocks, and audible breathing.

Kyokushin Karate is a form of Martial Arts which was originated through MASTER SOSAI MASUTATSU OYAMA (1923-1994)- the founder of the kyokushin organization (IKO).

Unlike the other styles of karate, kyokushinkai is a full contact way of martial arts. there are both world and Asian tournaments in kyokushin and attacking to the head is not prohibitted in kyokushin but it is prohibitted in tournaments and Kumithe (fighting training) as it is a very delecate part in the human body.

An induvidual should take an immense effort to study the kyokushinkaikan and it takes a series of hard work and exercises to geta good ranking.

NOTE- Unlike any other karate (martial way), A Kyokushin Black Belter is well recognized in all parts of the world.

Yes, Goju-ryu is one of the main branches of Okinawan Karate. Shorin-ryu is another one. In fact, in many branches of Shorin-Ryu, we share a common kata with Goju-Ryu.
