Encyclopedia of Goju Ryu Part 6 DVD with Morio Higaonna

SUPARINPEI

Suparinpei kata was a speciality of Kanryo Higaonna, the teacher of Chojun Miyagi, and is the longest and most complex of the Goju Ryu kata. Although the origins of the Goju Ryu kata have yet to be precisely identified, undoubtedly they are to be found in the martial practices common in the Fuchow area in the second half of the nineteenth century.

When the author of this series visited Fuchow for the first time in 1987, and demonstrated the Goju Ryu kata, older members of the Fuchow Martial Arts association recognized, and were able to name many of them.
