The Hurst Goju Ryu Karate Club

Welcome to the Hurst Goju Ryu website

Martial Arts are a entering a new era. A sport that once suffered much misconception by the general public is finally being appreciated for it�s wholesome approach to the development of mend, body and spirit.

This new attitude is apparent from the kind of people now practising martial arts and who are demanding more from the art.

At our Goju Ryu Karate club we are dedicated in developing the martial arts in the true spirit to which they were conceived. We see our style as a living art and not fixed by the bounds of competition or political gain.
