What is Chinese Goju?
Chinese Goju has traditional roots in Chinese Kung Fu and Japanese Karate. Chinese Goju is a modern form of martial arts that uses the most innovative systems and has practical uses for today. It's uniqueness stems from the continuing evolution of the style to meet the needs of its times. Grand Master, Ron Van Clief, 10th Degree Red Belt and founder of Chinese Goju, retained a traditional foundation and contributed practical and realistic concepts at the same time.
Why Malverne School of Self Defense?
Malverne School of Self Defense has been training in the Chinse Goju style of karate since 1974 on Long Island. Chinse Goju caters to people of all ages and ability. You will receive professional training from our expert instructors. Each instructor has achieved the level of black belt to assure that your training is consistent and of the highest quality. Our instructors are concerned with only providing you with the best training and education in the Chinese Goju system. This commitment means you will receive personalized training to fit your abilities.
Our training is challenging. Our instructors will push you to the limits of your physical and mental potential. We strongly believe in proper techniques and form. At Malvern School of Self Defense, we are committed and adhere strongly to training you in achieving the physical and mental disciplines you will need to succeed. Because your progress in Chinese Goju is dependent upon proper technique and form, our instructors will guide you and instruct you in performing every move with the correct execution.
Chinese Goju is not just about fighting. Our training program involves a wide scope that encompasses all facets of the martial arts. From basic forms and self defense techniques to kata and history, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Chinese Goju system. Because the system captures effective techniques from other styles of martial art, you will gain insight into style concepts such as Aikido, Aiki-juijitsu, Juijitsu, Wing Chung, and Kung Fu. No style is complete without learning the purpose and practice of kata. Here at Malverne School of Self Defense, we will train you in the art of kata.
The result of this comprehensive training allows you to be confident in both your physical and mental understanding of the self, the art, and philosophy.
No Contracts to Sign!
You will never sign an enrollment contract with Malverne School of Self Defense. Unlike other karate schools, you pay for your training on a per month basis. We understand that our students have other commitments and life styles that may not allow for a commited and regimented training schedule. While we encourage our students to attend every class, this is not a requirement. With a "No Contract" enrollment guarantee, you have the comfort of knowing that you will not be locked in to a legal situation where you are financially committed. Just like other sports, karate is not for everyone. We do not wish to bind you contractually to something you will not enjoy.
Promotion is Earned
We believe in the quality of your training. You will have the confidence of knowing that your promotion is earned and not bought. You can take pride in knowing that your progress reflects your commitment and performance. After each successful level of achievement, you will feel and know that you have earned your rank.
