MEIBUKAN GOJYU RYU is a traditional Okinawa karate school. Karate is a martial art from Okinawa, Japan. We develop ourselves through physical, mental,and spiritual training. Our goal is to practice way of life through karate.
Gojyu Ryu is a combination of hard and soft techniques that includes close striking, blocking, grappling, locking, pinning, breaking, and throwing techniques. All these come from the understanding and application of kata (form).
