Welcome to the Elora Gorge Karate Dojo, established in 1984 and now in our 34th year of service, we are proud to be a member of the International Meibukan Gojyu-Ryu Karate-Do Association (IMGKA). We are an educational institution teaching traditional Okinawa Meibukan Gojyu-Ryu Karate-do. We trust the training undertaken will be both exciting and rewarding, as you and/or your child, embrace karate-do - "the way of karate".

At our Dojo, instruction is provided in the traditional art of karate, which is viewed as "a way of life", as well as a method of self-defense. Gojyu-Ryu is one of the first three styles of karate formally recognized as such. It was the first to be officially named.

Thoughts from our Dojo Report

I have been asked to compile an essay on the Future of Martial Arts. It is crucial at this time to keep an open mind, as this is only the opinion of a person who has only been exposed to the arts for a matter of 20 years. This is a mere drop in the bucket in comparison to the lifetime of study of others.

Dojo Reigi Report

Address the Chief Instructor as Sensei (teacher) and Assistant Instructor(s) as Sempai. Pay respect to the Sensei or Sempai when given a direction by acknowledging with a bow and moving smartly, neatly and quickly to the direction. Before entering the dojo, no food or gum, remove outer clothing, footwear and no jewellery (earrings, necklaces, watches, bracelets, rings etc).

Gi and Obi Report

Your Gi is your karate uniform, at the Elora Gorge Karate Dojo we wear only pure White Gis. Your Obi is you belt, it is a symbol of your karate knowledge and journey, you should not wash your Obi, or you will be washing away your experience. Ensure your right side flap is folded towards your left side first and tie the strings that are attached together.
