Welcome to the Kyudokan Goju Ryu Karate Association
Kyudokan clubs practise the style of karate known as Goju Ryu.

Goju Ryu is a traditional art from Okinawa, the homeland of karate. Chojun Miyagi (1888 - 1953) founded and developed the karate style known as Goju Ryu.

Meaning hard / soft, Goju is a self defence system that concentrates on close range fighting with efficiency of movement as well as building confidence through personal development.

Kyudokan Aims

A structured syllabus is used to help develop students, offering an understanding of the importance of the traditional ways of Goju.
