Goju Jitsu is a systematic way of teaching that joins the traditional arts of Urban Goju Ryu Karate, Shobudo Ryu Ju Jitsu and Kobudo, so that rather than separate entities, can be appreciated as one complete curriculum of study. Goju Jitsu teaches traditional martial arts with a modern accent. The classical makeup of the styles have not been edited or deleted. They have been blended in a natural complimenting format. The Urban Kata curriculum, Opus 1-10 are in effect as primary mandatory knowledge for rank testing.
