At Heartland Family Karate our goal is to teach you the art of Goju-ryu (Japanese for "hard-soft style"). Our emphasis is upon the improvement of the mind, body and spirit. We train hard and study a well rounded, traditional style of martial arts that is appropriate for all ages. Goju-ryu (?) is a traditional Okinawan style that incorporates both circular and linear movements into its curriculum.
It combines hard striking attacks such as kicks and close hand punches with softer open hand circular techniques for attacking, blocking, and controlling the opponent. It includes locks, grappling, takedowns and throws and was founded by the Okinawan Karate Master, Chojun Miyagi. If you would like to participate please see Rick Sensei.

Heartland Family Karate is a fantastic martial arts Dojo that has a family friendly environment. I've been a member for over a year and my son and I love it. Sensei Rick does a great job when working with students of all ages. His patient and knowledge is fantastic and I would highly recommend his teachings and this style of martial arts for anyone that is interested in self defense and even in just staying fit and healthy.
