GojuRyu Kenkyukai Gold Coast

This is the page of the Gold Coast branch of the Okinawa Goju Ryu Kenkyukai; a global karate organisation set up to promote research into the practical application of Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate kata and technique. It was instituted by Taira Masaji Sensei, to provide a collaborative learning group of like-minded practitioners to collectively advance our karate.

The Gold Coast branch is headed jointly Damien Martin and Hannah Thornton, the group trains under the auspices of the Southern Cross Martial Arts Association Inc.

Unlike many organisations we don't exist just to follow the precise method of Taira Sensei's kata and bunkai. We are all different, we have different skills and abilities. Through research we will discover the common factors that go into effective karate practice and use those factors to continually improve.
