Australian Goju Karate (Ashburton Headuarters Centre)

From small beginnings the School of Goju Karate has grown and multiplied and is probably the most widely practised of the styles in Australia. In May 1989, Kaicho Gogen Yamaguchi died aged 81. In 1990 Goshi Yamaguchi (3rd son of the Master), took over the reigns of the Goju Kai and was promoted to the rank of 8th Dan by the Japan Karate Federation. From this time Terry Carberry trained with an Organisation known as IGK and in 1997 decided his future lay separate of this and founded Australian Goju Karate and maintains the ideals of the truly traditional style of Goju Karate.
