Goju-Ryu Karatedo InternationalGoju-Ryu Karatedo International
Welcome to the Goju-Ryu Karatedo International's official website.
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.
Please enjoy looking through the site and reading about the GKI, our origins,
our training philosophy, and our people.
If you have any queries or if you are interested in Goju Ryu Karate and/or would like to join
one of our dojos please contact us.
