About Heiko Ryu Karate Club

The Heiko Ryu Karate Club practices what we call “Ancestral Goju Ryu”.

The core Goju Ryu curriculum comprises Kata/Bunkai and training methods of the GojuKensha SaiShinkan, drawn from the teaching line Higashionna-Miyagi/Higa-Izumikawa-Ichikawa-Ohtsuka-Athanassiou.

Major distinguishing features of training include:

  1. methods of power generation drawn from the Shorin-Ryu and various schools of Kung Fu (notably Chen style Tai Chi)
  2. a rich history of techniques drawn from Ohtsuka Sensei’s extensive researches into the martial arts

Clubs are located in various suburbs of Melbourne. We have associations with similar groups in other parts of Melbourne and beyond.
