Chinese Goju is a total martial arts concept, combining athe Eastern and Western philosophies. Martial arts ideology evolves with the environment and relates directly to man's phenomenal ability for adaptation. A proper martial arts education prepares the individual student with the basic tools of life, above all, creative imagination and systematic logic. Every style of the martial arts has something valid to offer so far as in self-defense situations. Effectiveness is determined by the outcome of such an encounter, the winner versus the loser. If you have survived a life-and-death situation, you are a winner! Self-defense can simply mean not being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is where the natural laws of cause and effect apply. If you stay out of trouble, you won't have to get out of trouble. Once you get into trouble, it is hard to get out! Martial arts students excel when it comes to staying out of trouble; martial artists know full well the pains of errors in logic.

But remember, martial arts should only be used in emergency situations. Always take your studies with the utmost seriousness. Proper practice, using correct behavior conditioning patterns, minimizes the chance of self-injury during a life-and-death situation. Such a situation is sometimes referred to as "reality" by the students of the martial arts. There are no superior styles, there are only techniques that work and techniques that don't work. Martial arts films have depicted martial artists as supermen. Again, there is no supermen, but there is supernormal. Supernornal defines the martial arts student who has come to terms with his or her relationship to the world we live in.

Unless you actively practice martial arts, it is impossible to benefit from the mental, spiritual, and physical aspects of the art. Listen to your instructor and analyze what you observe. If you see an instructor trying to teach a senior citizen a flying side kick, you must then question how practical the form or style is. Each particular style should fit the individual student; every technique should be engineered for that person. Martial arts is for everyone, for different purposes. Chinese Goju has strengthened character and increased the human growth potential. Having total control of your actions and destiny will solidify your growth potential.
