USA GOJU KARATEDO ASSOCIATION |
* Updated 1/26/10 *
The USA Goju Karatedo Association (USAGKA) is composed of several like minded Goju karate dojo's. Students are expected to work hard and learn the way of Goju karate. We have a no nonsense training atmosphere which concentrates on basic training, self defense, kata, and sparring.
We do not have after school programs for kids but we do teach children. Kids class has ages from about 7 to 12. By the time they reach 13 they are moved to the adult class. At the Gardenville dojo kids ages 4 to 7 can learn the fundamentals of karate in a special class designed for them. Their class allows them to have fun and gradually learn how to act and behave in a traditional karate class.
USA Goju dojo's are committed to three important rules of the karate dojo as expressed by Grand Master Peter Urban. These rules are: 1. Everyone Works 2. Nothing is free 3. All start at the bottom.
Visitors are welcome to train with us. We have schools in Gibsonton, Palm Bay, and Riverview, Florida.
