This is the largest demonstration that we do each year. In 2007 approximately 80 GKC students participated. In addition to having fun at the demonstration, participants and chaperones get a free pass to attend the fair for the day.
If you are looking for a unique experience for your child, GKC Summer Camp is a must. Our camps pack a whole host of unique, challenging, enjoyable, educational, and exciting activities. That's why we often hear from our attendees that "it is the best camp ever." Not only that, but because Sensei Michelle and Sensei Paul oversee each activity personally, the attendees feel secure and safe. As one attendee stated recently after attending the 2007 camp "...this is the best camp I've ever been to...everyone is friendly and polite and there are no bullies..."
Camp enrollment is limited so reserve your spot early.

The culmination of a 6 month intensive preparation period for testing canditates. Dedicated students must monitor their nutrition, follow an at home fitness program, perform "acts of kindness and service," and complete a written test before even being allowed to step onto the floor for testing day. These requirements showcase the holistic approach we teach here at the Goju Karate Center; leading students to develop into disciplined, compassionate, and healthy well-rounded members of society, as well as great martial artists.
