What We Do
PROGRAMS
TRADITIONAL
Gōjū-ryū
剛柔流
a classical Okinawan karate style that blends hard, linear techniques with soft, circular movements. Rooted in tradition, it emphasises breath control, close-range combat, and disciplined body conditioning. Training develops strength, balance, and mental focus while preserving the authentic principles passed down through generations.
WEAPONS
Kobudō
古武道
traditional Okinawan weapons art, teaching the use of classical tools such as the bō, sai, nunchaku, and tonfa. Practice enhances coordination, timing, and spatial awareness while deepening understanding of martial movement. Kobudō training complements empty-hand karate and preserves historic warrior traditions.
SPORTS
Karate
focuses on speed, precision, and athletic performance in a competitive environment. Through sparring and kata, students develop agility, reflexes, and strategic thinking while learning sportsmanship and respect. This modern approach builds confidence, fitness, and discipline for practitioners of all ages.
