Mountain Martial Arts Goju Ryu Karate
Goju, meaning hard and soft, is a style of karate founded in the 1930's by Chojun Miyagi. Originating from Okinawa, Goju Ryu Karate is one of the five major styles of Karate, and has remained one of the most traditional. One of the defining features of this style is its combination of soft style open handed techniques and circular blocks, melded together with a number of hard techniques which include punches and kicks. Another defining feature of this style is its inclusion of upper body wrestling, join locks, takedowns, sweeps, and throws. Influences from Chinese kung fu and other Okinawan martial arts are also present, adding to the unique nature of this Karate style.

Sentiment Analysis
It has helped me remain active while learning the subtle nuances of Gojuru karate from Sensei Mark Kapel and the seniors.
Our 9-year-old has been attending going on year three and I'm so impressed I am considering joining the adult class as well.
Great place!
So glad all the benefits of Karate and everything that he learned from here is helping him become a strong and kind person :)
We are proud to have Mountain Martial Arts as a Shibu Dojo location to learn and train in Traditional Okinawa Gojuryu Kenkyukai!
This place is like a family to me, and am excited to continue my training here!
I didn't start training until I was 35 and there are lots of adult students who started later, so you don't have to be a kid to begin your journey.
I have trained with Mountain Martial Arts for the past year I'm very proud to have been welcomed into their school as I'm as I'm a school owner from a different town.
I have been a member of this dojo for 15+ years, and would advise anyone searching to start Martial Arts to come and speak to Kapel Sensei
This isn’t some conglomeration of various martial arts…rather, this is authentic Goju Ryu karate…as genuine as the day it was created over 100 years ago in Okinawa.
