About Our Dojo
The Guelph Budokan Centre of Martial Arts is an educational institution teaching traditional Okinawa Meibukan Goju-Ryu Karate-do. We trust the training undertaken will be both exciting and rewarding, as you and/or your child, embrace karate-do – “the way of karate”.
At our Dojo, instruction is provided in the traditional art of karate, which is viewed as “a way of life”, as well as a method of self-defense. This specific style named “Goju” translates as “Go”, meaning hard and “Ju”, meaning soft. Goju-ryu is one of the first three styles of karate formally recognized as such. It was the first to be officially named. This style of karate emphasizes the importance of personal development and the self-defense aspects of martial arts in a non-competitive, non-sport environment, as opposed to the competitive styles which have proliferated in North America.
What makes us different from many dojo is that we offer authentic karate direct from the birthplace of karate, Okinawa, Japan. Thiis ensures that what you or your child is being taught is authentic and pure karate right from the source. Instructors travel to Japan on a regular basis to ensure that the curriculum being taught is authentic and pure.
