GOJU RYU: The Way of Hard (Go) and Soft (Ju)
The intention of Seiwakai of New Mexico is to pass on the Goju-Ryu karate of both Shuji Tasaki and Chojun Miyagi without altering or changing it simply to fit the precept of modern sport. The goal of both men's style of Goju-Ryu was to not only teach effective self-defense, but to also improve the character of the practitioner through development of personal discipline, strong work habits, and a sense of community.
