  • Title: Karate for self-defense: an analysis of Goju-ryu and Kyokushinkai kata.
    Author: Layton C, Higaonna M, Arneil S.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1993 Dec; 77(3 Pt 1):829-30. PubMed ID: 8284161.
    Abstract:
    12 Goju-ryu and 24 Kyokushinkai kata (forms) widely practised today were analysed for blocking and counter-offensive techniques. A statistically significant preference was found for blocking in Goju-ryu kata and a significant preference for counter-offensive techniques in Kyokushinkai kata. The kata from both styles were seen as fostering nonviolence in their practitioners, however.
