Title Description

Goju is: “The art of knowing how, where, why and when to fight or not to fight. Knowing whether or not you can win and get away with it, defending your body, family, property, dignity, integrity, self-esteem, reputation, and country in the process. The ability to withstand both mental and physical pain, when coupled with extremely effective combat techniques, makes Goju the most realistic and potentially dangerous system in the world.”
