Goju - Ryu
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C5%8Dj%C5%AB-ry%C5%AB
This wikipedia link provides a brief history of Goju-Ryu - the Okanawan style of Karate upon which many of the Kempo Karate Kata's and philosophies are based. Goju-Ryu means "Hard-Soft-Style". When blocking, the body is soft and inhaling; when striking, the body is hard and exhaling.
