With Goju-Ryu you are never alone!
We are proud members of the English Goju-Ryu Karate-do Association (EGKA) and International Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-do Federation (IOGKF).

As members of the English Goju-Ryu Karate-do Association, we are welcome to train at any of the 30 plus EGKA affiliated Goju Ryu Karate clubs in England. Because they all follow the same syllabus, you’ll feel quite at home!
