Eastpoint Goju-Ryu Karate Club

Never losing does not mean always winning. when you come to understand this, you will have graduated from the beginners class and words like victory and defeat will be meaningless.

3rd Dan

I started karate when i was 15 with a few friends for a bit of self defence, 14 years later I still enjoy it as much as ever, I have out lasted all of the friends that started with me. I help teach all ages and I feel I have the confidence to deal with any would be attacker should it happen, I find it to be a very friendly club and very relaxed, it has provided me with self defence, self control,confidence and of course many new friends.

I find teaching very rewarding, and the history and philosophies of Goju-ryu intriguing. I feel that there is a lot to learn but that is the Goju-Ryu system. Goju-Ryu is a very popular style I feel its because it is suited to almost every situation. Sensei Buxey is an exellent teacher and feel that with his teaching I have a well rounded knowledge of the martial art. I would recommend it to anyone.
