We teach Goju Ryu Karate Do, an authentic fighting art which originated in Okinawa, Japan. Okinawa is the birth place of Karate do. This style was developed by the famous Karate Master, Chojun Miyagi and has been passed down largely in it’s original form. The training you will receive at Mountain Martial Arts embodies the spirit and honor of those who have made karate a proud and strong tradition

Goju, meaning hard and soft, is a style of karate founded in the 1930’s by Chojun Miyagi. Originating from Okinawa, Goju Ryu Karate is one of the five major styles of Karate, and has remained one of the most traditional. One of the defining features of this style is its combination of soft style open handed techniques and circular blocks, melded together with a number of hard techniques which include punches and kicks. Another defining feature of this style is its inclusion of upper body wrestling, join locks, takedowns, sweeps, and throws. Influences from Chinese kung fu and other Okinawan martial arts are also present, adding to the unique nature of this Karate style.
