“Shotokan Karate: Advanced Kata, Volume Five” S:1 E:1 Gojushiho-sho

S:1 E:1 Gojushiho-sho Gojushiho-sho is one of the longest katas in Shotokan. It has many changes of direction, an unusual form of spearhand, a combination against an attack from the rear and small changes of the wrist that can be used to control an opponent. Gojushiho-Sho is interesting in both the simplicity of the movements, and at the same time a depth of meaning for self- defense. Demonstrated by Joel Ertl.
