Goju-ryu incorporates both circular and linear movements into its curriculum, combining hard striking attacks such as kicks and close hand punches with softer open hand circular techniques for attacking, blocking, and controlling the opponent.
Shouldn't it be "soft" instead of "softer"?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
"soft" is correct.
"softer" should be used only if there is a comparison being made to something else...

There is a comparison being made. "Combining hard striking attacks with softer open hand techniques". If you say "soft", you are saying that the circular techniques are soft. If you say "softer", you are saying those techniques are not as hard as the striking attacks (but are not necessarily soft).
@engineer,
i was thinking more in terms of comparing Goju-ryu to another form of martial arts.
"hard" and "soft" are equivalent adjectives in the sentence...
