Belen Goju Ryu Karate started in May, 1988. Our purpose has always been to teach the most effective street self defense in all ranges of combat, along with traditional Goju Ryu Karate. Our students are taught to work hard to improve themselves physically and mentally. We expect students to avoid physical violence except as a last resort, and to be good citizens in their families, school, or work. 

Through consistent training at Belen Goju Ryu Karate students will develop a positive self esteem and self confidence, along with physical and mental strength to deal positively with daily life.
