The beings on the planet Yardrat taught Instant Transmission to Goku during his time on the planet. When Goku became a child, however the ability to use this technique was greatly hindered to the point were he just randomly travels to places a short distance away.

It is revealed in a movie that this move briefly moves the user into a pocket dimension which then allows them to move to any location instantly. In the Funimation dub of the anime, Goku describes the technique as allowing him to move at the speed of light (specifically 186,000 miles per second), but this is clearly inaccurate given his use of the technique to travel from Earth to New Namek and to King Kai's planet in Other World. Goku can even shift through realms, having no problem teleporting from Earth to the Sacred World of the Kais in Other World, traveling there to find New Namek. The technique has many practical uses throughout the series.

This action is usually accompanied by Goku placing his index and middle fingers on his forehead to help him concentrate, though if extra time is taken the technique can be performed without this aid. It allows Goku and anyone that is in contact with him to instantly travel great distances (from meters to light-years, or even travel between the living world and Other World) just by concentrating on a particular individual's energy signature and 'transmitting' to that being's location. Instant Transmission ( 瞬間移動, Shunkan Idō, Instant Translocation, Instantaneous Transmission) is a technique for instantly teleporting, learned by Goku after his fight with Frieza on Planet Yardrat.
