The Name of Goju-Ryu

The name Goju-Ryu was derived from a Chinese kempo (chuan fa) peom of an ancient text called the "Bubishi". The proper Chinese translation would be "Wu Bi Shii"

In the peom that follows (translated in English), on the third line you can find the statement of Goju.

"Wu Bi Shii"

The mind is one with Heaven & Earth

The Circulatory rhythm of the body is similar to the cycle of the Sun & the Moon

The way of inhaling & exhaling is hardness and softness

Act in accordance with time and change

Techniques will occur in the absence of conscious thought

The feet must advance & retreat, seperat & meet

The eye do not miss even the slightest change

The ears listen well in all directions
