GOJU 'TE JUTSU RYU
(S.A: / INTERNATIONAL)
Founded in February of 1971, on the beach at Margate, on the South Coast of Natal, South Africa.
Born
out of the frustration of watching the old ways disappear and be replaced by the embryonic stages of sports Karate.
Nurtured
out of the amazement of watching Karate Dojo's springing up on every street corner, being run by over-night Masters of unpronounceable art forms and styles, when the Karate Craze hit our country after the untimely death of the great Bruce Lee (Sifu).
Finalised
by Politics, as the Fast Talking con-men moved in, to destroy 5,000 year old Art Forms and Martial Sciences of extaordinary complexity and beauty and changing it into a thriving business to con the average Joe Citizen into the "Bruce Lee Syndrome.
GOJU 'TE JUTSU RYU

Goju 'Te Jutsu Ryu is a totally South Africa martial Science system, which has combined the best and most workable techniques of a number of extremely ancient art forms,  together with some of more recent vintage, to create a Complete System for the modern warrior. While stressing the absolute importance of Self Defence as its first priority, Goju 'Te Jutsu Ryu, is every mindful of its unique and ancient heritage and stresses beyond anything, THE OLD WAY'S WERE BEST, THE OLD VALUES WERE BEST, THE OLD TRADITIONS WERE BEST, IT IS OUR DUTY TO PRESERVE THEM.
To Masters Ray Ryan and Richard Salmon, thank you for showing me the beauty of the Okinawan Martial Sciences.
