Eastpoint Goju-Ryu Karate Club

Welcome to Eastpoint Goju-Ryu Karate Club's Website

At all times accept life as the willow tree accepts the wind. Rather that fight the inevitable by being immovable as the oak tree, the willow will bend not suffering any hardships, whereas the oak will fight and fight and in the end will be destroyed by its own stubbornness . Tomorrow after the wind has calmed the willow will bounce back to its original straightness, whereas the oak will bear the unhealable scars of the day before.

Meet hardness with softness and softness with hardness

Sensei Buxey's Certificates

Eastpoint Karate Club has been in Southampton for many years teaching Okinawan Goju-Ryu in a number of venues in the area, we now only have one club but train twice a week at the same venue.
