Goju-ryū is a traditional Japanese martial art that combines hard and soft techniques, making it a well-rounded style of karate. Gogen Yamaguchi first introduced Goju Ryu and made it not only popular in Japan, but soon the legend and his Gojukai spread like wildfire across the world. One of his top students was the late Shuji Tasaki reknown for his fierce fighting.later in 1970 Tasaki formed the Seiwa Kai Goju Ryu Group that is also affiliated to the JKF Gojukai
Karate instills physical and mental strength; it improves focus, flexibility, and dexterity. Karate also helps alleviate stress and increase self-confidence. If you stick with it, you'll notice your reflexes will improve sharply as well. Not to mention that karate is a great form of exercise... While it is a system of self-defence and all-encompassing body workout, karate also promotes values congruent with the family unit and success. It is an environment that promotes respect and courtesy. It teaches a student to become more disciplined, more patient within themselves, and encourages humility above ego.
The Seiwa Kai dojo opened its doors in Table View in 1990. Since then it has produced over 100 black belts, several National all Style karate champions and over 200 Provincial All style champions. The dojo has the look of the traditional Japanese dojo..No sport karate has been taught since 2016 when it reopened for adults only and traditional old school karate tuition. It is home to Men and Women that have added to the atmosphere through hard work and continuous training to reach the next level
The Karate South Africa (KSA) is the governing body of sport karate in South Africa.[1] The KSA was formed in June 2005 after the previous body (KASA) was disbanded by the then Minister of Sport. The new body came into being under the supervision of the South African Sports Council. It has membership to the World Karate Federation (WKF) which is the only body recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and was readmitted to the international arena in 1992. In May 2008, after three years of ups and downs, the interim structure was formalized at a General Elections held under the supervision of SASCOC and the current executive was voted in. The President of the KSA is Sonny Pillay.
