Welcome to Karate-Do Goju-Kai (Singapore) official website.

Our style of Karate-Do is based on the Goju-Ryu style (hard and soft) founded by Master Chojun Miyagi (1888 – 1953) in Okinawa, Japan. Grand Master Gogen Yamaguchi (1909 - 1989), who studied under Chojun Miyagi, unified the essential teachings of Goju-Ryu Karate-Do, founded Goju-Kai (Kai refers to Association).

Goju-Ryu Karate-Do not only aims to improve the physical strength and karate techniques of an individual, it fosters will power and fighting spirit in an individual. Goju-Ryu Karate-Do also focuses on character building and the pursuit of being strong mentally, along with kindness, dignity and thoughtfulness. Indeed, the founding Master Chojun Miyagi said that: "Don't be struck by others, don't strike others and avoid trouble.”

The art of Goju-Ryu Karate-Do enjoys an ever-increasing popularity in more than 50 countries around the world, each with their own associations affiliated to the International Karate-Do Goju-Kai Association (I.K.G.A.) based in Tokyo, Japan. At present, our I.K.G.A. HQ is headed by Saiko Shihan Goshi Yamaguchi, who is also the President of the All Japan Karate-Do Goju-Kai Association (J.K.G.A.).

Although there are other Goju-Ryu style Karate-Do clubs and associations in Singapore, Karate-Do Goju-Kai (Singapore) is the only official, authorized I.K.G.A. Singapore Branch. The association is also affiliated to the Singapore Karate-Do Federation (S.K.F.), the National Sports Association (N.S.A.) of Karate-Do in Singapore
