Welcome to the National Shorei Goju Ryu Association. Our membership organization is dedicated to schools and practitioners of the Shorei Goju Ryu system of Karate. 

Shorei Goju Ryu is a style of Karate originating from two major Okinawan martial arts. It emphasizes the ancient theory of “No Limitations” of knowledge or technique. It contains every type of strike, block, kick, wrist lock, arm lock, arm bar, sweep, takedown or pressure point which can be used. This gives the student the option of choosing which best fits his or her physique, personality, and situation. The karate style of Shorei Goju Ryu has something for everyone.

Karate begins and ends with COURTESY.

Actions have CONSEQUENCES.

We lead by EXAMPLE.

We are RESPONSIBLE.

Therefore, there is no excuse for BAD MANNERS.
