The Goju.co.uk club is run by Tom Hill who is 60 years old in 2011. Tom has 38 years experience in GoJu Karate and Mixed Martial Arts. He is the Senior Instructor and 7th Dan with Goju.co.uk. The club has been established over 34 years.

The clips are showing the type of training we practice at the club. Along with some of the Kata Bunkai (understanding). They are not stage managed or rehersed and are just clips of the training we practice. Tom sometimes tries to include teaching videos which are performed slowly to help the student learn. Tom can move a lot faster but this seldom helps understanding of techniques.

Tom feels that he has always practiced MMA and feels that it is an intrinsic part of the GoJu system.

Tom likes to show the Wrestling Grappeling (Tugumi) and Ju Jitsu (Soft skill) techniques contained within the GoJu Ryu Kata. As well as Atemi (striking) techniques.

If you wish to leave constructive comments in a positive manner then they will be welcome. We believe in ettiquette when dealing with fellow Martial Artists and would like to be treated the same way.

If on the other hand your comments are insulting or negative in nature, then please look at another Channel and leave your comments there as we are not interested in hearing them and will delete your comment and block any further comments.

We are only interested in genuine Martial Artists who have been taught ettiquette and respect for other practitioners.

For us Karate begins and ends with ettiquette.
