I took under Ralph back in the early 90's? when he was on Colesium Blvd. He always use to say he taught "the hand to hand part of the Samuri" He said Tamashiwara a lot back then. I barely remember him ever really talking about where he learned. He liked
to say he Americanized it so we would have a better understanding of what was going on. sorry I can't help more.

Goshin just means combat rather than sport. It is used for a ryu that trains in more than 1 style. Goju-Ryu, okinawan kempo, judo, jujitsu, kendo are some of the techniques usually taught.
Yes there are Japanese Ryu that use Goshin do jitsu in their names.
