Gōjū-ryū Conditioning

Gōjū-ryū conditioning are specific additional exercises with/without various equipment’s designed to improve the body's ability to practice Gōjū-ryū. These exercises strengthen the body, increase speed, and condition specific muscle groups. In the book, Okinawa Gōjū-ryū fundamental Techniques 1, Mario Higaonna, recommends that students be aware of their own strength and limitations before attempting to use conditioning equipment’s. In addition, he asks to take good care of the equipment’s and seek others help and instruction when using them for the first time. Examples of conditioning tools are: Chishi (stone or concrete lever weight) used to strengthen the arms and wrists; Nigiri-Game (gripping Jar) used to practice sanchin dachi, correct posture, and strengthen forearms; Makiwara (wooden striking post) used to strengthen, knuckles, back hand and feet; Ishisashi (stone padlock) strengthen forearm, wrists and hands; Tan (barbell) helps strengthen arms, hips, and neck; Kongoken (oval metal weight) helps develop strong trusting, grappling, and stances; Tetsu Geta (Iron Clogs) help strengthen kicks, legs abdomen and back.^[1]
