Goshin Jutsu Ryu Karate Do

05/02/2026

One of the frequently asked questions about martial arts is “How many fights have you been in?”

The reality is, a martial artist will avoid more fights than they will ever need to engage in. By remaining humble, confident and extinguishing the ego, self defense is reserved for situations it is truly needed in.

If you have a child and are considering whether to introduce them to martial arts or sports, remember this, there is no sitting the bench in martial arts. The discipline, self control and remaining calm in stressful situations stays with the student outside the dojo.

Sensei Welshans shared this and it’s worth a read. This is such an important point in remaining humble as a martial artist. Train hard, stay humble, speak through your actions.

Distance away from a dojo is never a deterrent from training. Master Bradley reinforced that today during promotion testing by opening with a very informative clinic on mindset. Master Bradley traveled a great distance with his family and one of his daughters who also competed and tested this weekend

We were also blessed to have Master Koch present for testing to offer invaluable insight from his countless years of experience in martial arts. Thank you Master Koch!

Just a few pictures from this weekend.

It was a busy weekend for members of Goshin Jutsu Ryu Karate. Saturday consisted of a tournament, Sunday was promotion testing.

For many members, it was a weekend of firsts. First competition, first test. Both of which are challenging in their own way for a young student.

Getting in front of people, performing a kata and sparring with someone new can be intimidating. But having the courage to face those new challenges speaks volumes about growth and commitment.

At Goshin Jutsu Ryu, every stripe and belt you wear will be earned. Not just the day of the test, but every hour in the dojo and out during training.

For others, such a Sensei Bradley who was promoted to Master today, we’re reminded how the martial artist performs and masters their art. Taking home grand champion in sparring and placing first in forms is the product of countless hours of work, sweat and tears.

Congratulations to all who competed and all who were promoted, you’ve truly earned it!
