Castroper Turnverein 1874 e.V.

Karate-Do has been developed from ancient martial arts, focusing on both Kata (forms) and Kumite (fighting). The techniques in Karate engage all muscle groups, emphasizing hip movement for explosive actions and maximum power concentration. The Goju-Ryu style uniquely combines hard Go and soft Ju elements, enabling even physically weaker individuals to defend themselves effectively. Established in 1989, this dojo is part of the Yuishinkan sub-style influenced by Fritz Nöpel in Germany. The dojo promotes application-oriented Karate for individuals aged 15 and above, rather than competitive sports.
