Goju Kai Karate-Do is based on the traditional values of the martial arts. Goju Kai Karate-Do is a living and developing Art. It's origins are ancient and yet it is one of the few traditional styles to continue to advance as new methods and technologies evolve. It is more than just techniques, more than developing physical strength; it is the development of that which is within.
In today's rapidly changing times and the gradual disintegration of culture, there is a need for a martial art form with a strong philosophical base - that emphasizes continual self-cultivation and refinement.The art should have at its core the development of the individual be designed to promote a genuine concern and responsibility to other human beings, and to discourage aggression and a `win only' attitude. Goju Kai Karate-Do has been developed to meet these needs.Martial arts should focus on the development of the individual in which the ultimate goal is to continuously strive to develop the positive qualities within each of us.This is the fundamental concept on which the Goju Kai Victorian Country Division Branch Dojo is based on.
