Goshin Kara-te teaches a system of empty-hand self-defense that harkens back to the original kara-te (China Hand) as it evolved in Okinawa from Chinese Chuan Fa and local fighting methods. Goshin Kara-te is foremost a striking system, depending on punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques. It also relies on one-step techniques and forms to teach its principles.
The Black Belt series consists of three ranks - Green, Brown and 1st Black (see below) - and costs only $39.95. The testing fee is regularly $20.00, only $15.00 per test/rank for IMAF members.
