Philosophy

Goju Ryu means "Hard-Soft Style". It reflects the duality of nature and life. The training is rigorous, designed to forge a strong body and an indomitable spirit.

"Karate Ni Sente Nashi" - There is no first attack in Karate.

This principle guides our practice, emphasizing self-defense and the cultivation of a peaceful character.


Mission in India

TOGKF India is dedicated to spreading the authentic teachings of Higaonna Sensei throughout the country. We aim to provide a platform for practitioners to learn, train, and grow in the traditional way.
