Traditional Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate
"A Practice of Balance, Strength & Self-Discovery"
Welcome to a deeper kind of martial arts training that strengthens the body, centers the mind, and cultivates inner resilience.
Thursday’s @ 7 PM
What is Goju-Ryu?
Goju-Ryu, meaning “hard-soft,” is a classical Okinawan martial art that blends powerful strikes with flowing, circular movements. It is both an effective system of self-defense and a path to deeper self-awareness.
This balance of opposites — tension and relaxation, strength and sensitivity — is at the heart of everything we do.
What You’ll Learn
Physical Conditioning: Taiso Daruma
A dynamic method developed by martial artists and health professionals, Taiso Daruma builds functional strength, flexibility, and mobility, preparing the body for martial training and everyday life.
Kata (Forms)
Structured sequences that teach technique, breathing, and visualization. Kata is more than movement — it’s a moving meditation that reveals the rhythm and logic behind each self-defense principle.
Okinawan Kobudo (Traditional Weapons)
Students will also explore the use of classical Okinawan weapons: Bo, Tonfa, Sai, Kama, and Nunchaku. Each offers unique lessons in discipline, coordination, and application.
Partner Drills
Learn how kata translates to real-world defense through paired exercises that develop timing, control, and awareness.
Beyond Technique
This training is not just about combat — it’s about personal growth.
Through disciplined movement, breath, and mental focus, Goju-Ryu cultivates confidence, emotional balance, and resilience. These deeper aspects are explored further in Roy’s book, KARATE: Beneath The Surface — a reflection on the spiritual and emotional foundations of traditional martial arts.

Whether you’re new to martial arts or returning to deepen your practice, this program is for anyone seeking:
