The
International Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-do Federation
(IOGKF) supports some of the finest martial arts schools in
the USA and the world, dedicated to making your training
experience enjoyable, challenging, and satisfying. Our
experienced, certified black belt instructors are simply the
best. They have studied and trained for years under the
leadership of Sensei Morio Higaonna, 10th dan,
and senior instructors to qualify as part of the IOGKF-USA
team, and their primary goal is to assist you in your
martial arts journey and help you become the best you can
be.
Through IOGKF
training methods, students learn traditional martial arts
values such as discipline, etiquette, self-respect, and
goal-setting resulting in positive character development.
Our carefully structured martial arts programs go far beyond
punching, blocking, and kicking, by offering personal
development and leadership programs, tournament and
demonstration teams, and ground-fighting and submission
techniques. Individual schools may offer additional
activities, events and training other than those mentioned.
We will help
you acquire effective self-defense skills to enhance
personal safety and peace of mind, and provide a
comprehensive development program. It is our goal to improve
the “quality of life” for all of our students in every way
possible. Although we honor martial arts traditions going
back for centuries, we are progressive and constantly
seeking new and innovative ways to motivate and excite our
students.
We pledge to make
each student's journey as fun, exciting, and educational as
possible. We monitor progress closely and walk with our
students every step of the way during their development.
We believe that
being a martial artist is not just about learning physical
techniques; it is about becoming the best that you can be in
every way regarding your mind (knowledge), body (skills),
and spirit (character). Make a decision today to start your
martial arts journey towards becoming an IOGKF certified
black belt, leader, and role model in your community, and
help the next generation to succeed!
