We practice traditional Okinawan Goju Ryu karate.

Goju Ryu, meaning hard (go) and soft (ju) style, incorporates various hard and soft techniques into one style of karate. There are hard linear striking techniques as well as soft circular movements in order to strike, block and manipulate your opponent to your advantage.

Goju is not a sport, it is a martial art and as such we do not focus on competition, our focus is on self-defense as well as the training of the body and the mind. We do have 2 competitions per year for those who would like to compete, but it is not a requirement for advancing or grading.

Our chief instructor, Danie Steenkamp, has an 8th dan and is the 2nd highest graded Goju Ryu karateka in the country with only 3 people graded higher than him in the world.
The rest of the instructors all have more than 8 years experience teaching karate.

Beginners age 6 and up are all welcome.
Training is on Mondays and Wednesdays 17:15 - 18:15 at the Fichardtpark sport centre.
Visitors are always welcome.
