Goju-Ryu Karatedo InternationalGoju-Ryu Karatedo International

The GKI was formed by Sensei James Rousseau (8th Dan) and Sensei Len Sim (7th Dan) in 1993 and is dedicated to the promotion and teaching of classical and traditional Goju Ryu Karate Do based on the ideas of Chojun Miyagi, the founder of Goju Ryu. With dojos from South Africa, Portugal, Nepal and Begium joining dojos from the UK and Sweden makes the GKI a truly international association.

Goju-Ryu Karatedo is a traditional martial art and is an exceptional self defence system. It is one of three styles of karate that originated in Okinawa, the birth place of karate. The GKI teaches a syllabus that is both progressive and demanding, basing it's teaching around blocks, punches, strikes, kicks, locks and throws. All of the GKI's black belt instructors have many years of experience and are certified by MASA (Martial Arts Standards Association) as coaches.
