Special students need special training, and Goju Karate is committed to providing that training, regardless of abilities.
Goju Karate’ central mission is to bring the benefits of karatedo to all students who have a passion for becoming better. Some of our students need special help in accessing the benefits of karate on their journey through life, and we are committed to offering that special help.
Funded by generous support from donors to the Goju Karate Kizuna Fund, (“kizuna” loosely translates as “community” in Japanese), we are proud to offer these classes with free tuition to special needs students; tuition and a standard Gi is provided to all students without cost.
These classes are held each week. Please see the Front Desk for details on days and times when these classes are offered.
