Goju Juniors
Traditional Karate Training for Young Warriors
Ideal for Growing Minds
The Goju Juniors program is perfect for children aged 8-13 who are ready for more structured martial arts training. This age group can handle traditional techniques while still benefiting from age-appropriate instruction methods.
Students in this program learn authentic Goju Ryu karate while developing the discipline, respect, and confidence that will serve them throughout their teenage years and beyond. Many of our junior students continue training into adulthood and become future instructors.

Bully-Proofing Your Child
Our Goju Juniors program specifically addresses bullying through a three-pronged approach: confidence building, de-escalation techniques, and physical self-defence as a last resort.
Students learn to carry themselves with quiet confidence, use verbal skills to defuse situations, and when necessary, defend themselves effectively. Most importantly, they develop the inner strength to not become bullies themselves.
Our Anti-Bullying Strategy
- Build unshakeable self-confidence
- Teach situational awareness
- Practice de-escalation techniques
- Learn effective self-defence
- Develop empathy and respect for others
