Kakie (掛け手), a close-range combat training method, is a significant characteristic of the traditional Goju-ryu style. While important, this offensive and defensive technique is rarely explained in detail. Soke Katsuya Izumikawa of the Izumikai has systematized this method, incorporating his own innovations. This DVD teaches how to utilize the techniques hidden within Goju-ryu kata, covering grabbing, pressing vital points, taking the opponent's balance, breaking their posture, throwing, and defense against bladed weapons. - Title: Traditional Goju-ryu Karate (2) Kakie Edition DVD - Performer: Katsuya Izumikawa - Running Time: 47 minutes I watched this a few times after purchasing it and then stored it.
