kata of Goju-Ryu   Gekisai Dai Ichi Gekisaidai Ichi: Attack and destroy. This kata was created by Miyagi Chojun Sensei in 1940 out of his desire to popularise Goju Ryu within the high school system in Okinawa. It is interesting to note that this kata finishes with a step forwards. Japan was at war at the time of this katas creation and according to Higaonna Morio Sensei's book The History of Karate-Do, Miyagi Chojun Sensei included the forward step as an analogy to the country moving forward.   Sanchin Tensho Gekisai Dai Ichi Gekisai Dai Ni Saifa Seiyunchin Shisochin Sanseiru Seipai Seisan Kururunfa Suparinpei     exameneisen
