Gōjū-ryū Karate
Traditional Okinawa Goju-ryu Karate training is strenuous and disciplined. The emphasis is on the repetitious practice of basic technique and kata.
It is a lifelong commitment. It is not a short-term course. Because of this, it lets the students improve their fitness and self-discipline, as it strengthens their bodies and cultivates their minds.

My son has studied karate with OTKA for more than 10 years. Right from the beginning I was impressed with the focus on self control and independence. As he has moved through the program he has been supported in developing leadership skills and self confidence, as well as making many friends. John fosters inclusiveness and is respected by all the students in the group. I would highly recommend this program for anyone and would be happy to chat with anyone who is considering signing up.
My son began the OTKA program in 2007 and since then, his confidence in himself has improved dramatically. He is also much more physically active and concerned about making healthy choices in his life.
