About
Welcome to the Gopinath Karate Association, a prominent institution dedicated to the traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate, founded on the principles of balance and harmony. Rooted in the esteemed lineage of Hanshi Senaha Shigetoshi and the legendary Shihan Chojun Miyagi, this school preserves the pure essence of Goju-Ryu, blending the "hard" and "soft" techniques to perfection. At Gopinath Karate Association, students are encouraged to find harmony not just in their practice, but also in their mind, body, and spirit.
What sets this Karate school apart is its commitment to maintaining the untouched traditions of Ryusyokai Goju Ryu. With a robust curriculum that includes katas, breathing techniques, takedowns, throws, and even weapon training, the dojo provides comprehensive martial arts education. Every session is designed to build cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility, making it a holistic lifestyle choice for students of all ages and fitness levels.
Karate training here is not just about physical prowess; it instills a deep sense of discipline and respect.
