Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate Qld

Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate Qld Traditional karate classes, all ages and abilities welcome. Narangba’s longest running Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate club.

Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate Queensland (OGK Qld) is committed to preserving Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate traditions in their purest form.
​
Traditional Karate stems back many many generations concentrating on traditional life values such as respect, discipline and self confidence.
​
The meaning in english explained, 'Go' translates to 'hard' and 'Ju' translates to 'soft'. 'Ryu' translates to 'style' or '

school'. This is the essence of our style, bringing the 'hard' and 'soft' together to ensure balance.
​
Benefits of Goju-ryu Karate are for a lifetime. Self confidence, respect and self discipline equal a positive curb on bullying and intolerance of others. The focus element is crucial for development in all ages and can be seen to improve school work, employment and everyday life.
​
Self Defence should be a vital component of our lives today. The techniques used throughout Goju-ryu are useful in a self defence aspect should you be in that predicament.
​
Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate is a style that suits all ages and abilities. The beauty of Goju-ryu is your Sensei (teacher) can adapt the movements to YOUR ability to get the same results, regardless of whatever you believe your restrictions are.
​
Whatever your goals, aspirations or abilities, Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate has become a beneficial passion for thousands around the world and our club has something for you and your children!

Hi Tiny Tigers,

We have created a Tiny Tigers Booklet containing all the information you'll need for gradings, including terminology, stances, techniques, and other important karate knowledge.

While the booklet is not mandatory, it is a valuable resource that will help students navigate their karate journey and prepare for future gradings.

The booklets are available for $12.50 each. A sample copy is available to view at the dojo if you would like to have a look before purchasing.

Please see Sensei Rich or Senpai Ash if you would like to purchase one.
