The Goju-Ryu system, one of the four major traditional styles originating from Okinawa, Japan, emphasizes both hard (Go) and soft (Ju) movements. Founded by Miyagi Chojun, the style combines Okinawan striking techniques with elements from Chinese martial arts. The training includes various techniques such as punches, kicks, throws, and holds, focusing on effectiveness in close combat, and does not participate in competitions. The diverse training environment provides a healthy physical and mental balance for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
