Empower yourself and your community by learning how to be safe at all times.

Sensei Carl Van Der Merwe teaches the theoretical and practical self-defence techniques and methods needed to avoid, prevent and defend against any danger you might come across in life.

Goju-Ryu incorporates circular and linear movements into its curriculum, combining hard striking attacks such as kicks and close hand punches with softer open hand circular techniques for attacking, blocking, and controlling the opponent, including locks, grappling, take-downs and throws.

Build a strong foundation of tools and knowledge to protect yourself, if ever you need, and we hope you never do!

Be a victor, not a victim. Learn the Basics!
