This week (Monday and Wednesday kids and adult classes) we're working on take down defense. We'll explore how footwork, stances and frames - all found in our kata - act as effective tools to keep us on our feet during a confrontation.

Goju-ryu blends ancient tradition with modern practicality. Rooted in centuries-old Okinawan fighting methods, it preserves time-tested techniques focused on balance, breathing, and close-range combat. At the same time, its structured training, scientific approach to body mechanics, and adaptability make it highly relevant for modern self-defense and physical conditioning. Get in touch with us today to book your two free trial classes!

“The days when karate was taught secretly are over, and the new age has come in which we practice and study karate publicly and officially. Therefore, the future of karate-do is bright.”
- Miyagi Chojun Bushi (Founder of Goju-ryu)

Here's what we got up to last Wednesday - these students (and some in the adult class) all passed their grading and we are so proud of them! Well done!
