Goju Ryu Karate Do - Seijitsu Dojo

About us

The Seijitsu Dojo in Alvesta is a small Dojo with both junior and senior training. We practice Goju Ryu karate. The senior members has been practicing Goju Ryu for 20 years and more (some started in the mid -80´s). The senior members are also experienced in other martial arts like wrestling, jujitsu, boxing/taiboxing. Goju Ryu is a close combat fighting system and we practice a lot in pairs with fighting drills (bunkai). Basics (kihon) and kata training is a big part of our training but also Hojo undo and conditioning (udekitae). We research Goju Ryu in a modern context using traditional values of self defense and build of character. This means that we research the karate techniques from the Goju Ryu katas to be able to match up and overcome an aggressor with or without martial arts training. Furthermore It means that our goal is to build physical as well as mental strength and technical ability.

Since 2004 we have been following in the footsteps of Masaji Taira sensei (hanshi 9 dan) Chairman of the kenkyukai organization. His deep insights of the application of Goju Ryu katas Is amazing and our inspiration when we train.

In the past practitioners from other schools and other branches of the Goju Ryu tree have visited us and trained. We think this is a wonderful thing to share and learn and we welcome all to come and visit us!
