Tensho Goju Empty Hand Kata's

The Tensho Goju kata's are all listed in the Tensho Goju Instructor Manual available on our website. However, a list of each kata along with the belt level assignment is listed below.  Kata should never be rushed, but practiced daily for perfection and understanding of each movement.  The execution of movements required balance, power, control, breathing, focus and proper application of technique.  Each movement in kata serves a particular purpose.  Therefore, it is imperative to train kata as much as possible and practice bunkai for a greater understanding of the interpretation of each move.

Basically, there are six (6) under belt kata's that are solely birthed from Tensho Goju, which illustrate acute movements and techniques circulating the system.  In addition, there are five (5) associated kata's derived from Goju Ryu, which gives an overall total of eleven (11) empty hand kata's in the Tensho Goju system. 

White Belt - Sunrise
Green Belt - Sunset
Purple Belt - Twisiting Clouds / Butterfly / Storm
Brown Belt - Tensho (Heavens Breath) / Seiunchin
Black Belt - Kururunfa
Black Belt 2nd Dan - Shisochin
Black Belt 3rd Dan - Sepai
Black Belt 5th Dan - Suparinpei

Fitness in the Park featuring Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing with Thomas Felder

On April 9, 2011 Master Felder woke the Lawton community with one of his dynamic Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing routines "Total Body" as part of the Fitness in the Park Lawton/Fort Sill community event. This training session consist of rigorous exercises targeting all the major muscles from the upper to lower body and topped off with a fears abdominal session that strengthens the total core of the abdominal area.  It was a good morning with the perfect atmospheric conditions for training, said Felder. The training session went on for 50 minutes with three 40 second pauses to check heart rates and water hydration. Felder is the founder of Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing, which he created in 1994 and introduced on his Time Warner Cable show.  Felder teaches a weekly free Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing class at Honeycut Gym, Fort Sill every Wednesday at 11:40 am.  Pictures of this event will be posted on the tenshogoju.com photo album and flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/masterfelder/sets/72157626351343557/.
