Traditional Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate

Traditional Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate is an international association whose character is to promote and preserve Traditional Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate-do, while encouraging friendship and co-operation.

Our style is a complete art that is well suited to Self Defence, Fitness, Discipline and Character Development. Traditional Goju Ryu is a non-sport system practised for real self defence situations, health, longevity and self discovery. The bi-product of this is a complete self defence system using grappling, punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes and open-handed techniques. The emphasis is on close-combat fighting, with focus on manipulation of joints and vital points, strangulation, throwing techniques and ground fighting. You will also learn many important foundations such as generating power, grounding, tension/relaxation and body evasion.
