The road to perfection in the Martial Arts world is a long one. No one knows this more than Masaji Taira Sensei. At 55 years old, he has dedicated his life to the pursuit of Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate. More specifically, he has spent the last 39 years researching the kata of Goju Ryu Karate and making it work. To anyone who has seen this man in action, you all know, he can make it work like no other. There are people both in Goju Ryu and in other martial arts who believe or have been told kata doesn't work, kata is just a dance, you can't use kata to defend yourself, Pardoning me for being direct but, you are living a lie! Goju Ryu Kata can be used, and used effectively in its original form. This site is designed to allow Goju Ryu practitioners and martial artists from around the world access to one of the Okinawa Jundokan's best kept secrets -Taira Sensei and the bunkai he has spent a lifetime developing.
