GoJu Ryu Karate Do
The style of Karate taught at Robitaille's Academy of
Martial arts is GoJu Ryu which stands for Hard-Soft style. GoJu Ryu combines
harder striking techniques such as punches and kicks, with softer circular
techniques for blocking and
controlling
opponents.
GoJu Ryu was founded by Chojun Miyagi in
Okinawa, and was the first style of karate to be officially recognized by Dai
Nippon Butoku Kai in Japan, and is the only style to have a full historical
representation in both Okinawa and Japan.
Robitailles Academy of Martial Arts is
affiliated with the Independent Canadian GoJu Federation which is currently run
by our very own Sensei! For more information click on the ICGF link to the left.
Students say every class is different and exciting, there
are always new challenges each and every day. A typical class starts off with
the bow in ceremony, followed by an extensive warmup. From there you will do a
number of different things such as: Practicing Techniques, Kata, Sparring,
Grappling, and Self Defense just to name a few. If you are interested in Goju
