Hokama is a Goju Ryu legend. Seagal visited his dojo in April. Hokama puts on what I thought to be an interesting demonstration:

can you elaborate a little?

Seagal has put on a lot of weight.

Yes, Seagal's friend is pretty and tall. Goju ryu supposedly derived from Fujian White Crane. Other than that, it just came up on my youtube. There are other youtube videos on Tetsuhiro Hokama's dojo.

It was kind of funny to see Seagal visiting another master. I was interested to see what the master was going to show Seagal. Some people make fun of Seagal because of his claims in interviews of training and teaching Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva the front kick.

I saw this a while back and find Segals body language quite interesting

Had no idea Goju Ryu had so many joint-locking and pressure point hitting methods, very very different to the standard Shotokan stuff which dominates in the UK. Thanks for posting!

Yes Goju ryu is very much joint locking/ throws and pressure point attack. Shotokan supposedly follows the "Ikken Hissatsu" One punch kill, an idea that I guess comes from Jigen-ryu Kenjutsu of which the teachers of the founder of Shotokan was trained in

SS moves in mysterious ways. I remember him becoming a kiving Buddha and recently saw him playing and singing blues[surprisingly well], any way here are some views ob his erratic behavior
