Goshin-Jutsu Karatedō is an American-founded karate style with strong Chinese and aikijutsu influences; it prioritizes self-defense applications over winning competitions and sport-fighting. Goshin-Justu Karatedō focuses on rapidly evading and redirecting attacks, then incapacitating the opponent with punches, kicks, and strikes directed at the weakest parts of their anatomy (i.e., small bones, major joints, and soft tissues.) Goshin-Jutsu Karatedō makes a greater use of joint manipulations and takedowns than most other karate styles.
This site serves as a reference guide for our current and former students, a learning resource for self-defense instructors, and as an attempt to quench the anxiety of those who are considering becoming martial artists. This service is provided free of charge, because ultimately, our techniques belong to whoever needs them the most because true strength is giving others what they need to become strong.
