About the English Goju-Ryu Karate Association (EGKA)

The EGKA is part of the IOGKF which is the largest Goju-Ryu Karate association in the world. To achieve an IOGKF black belt it takes dedication, spirit and perseverance and the IOGKF is recognised for the high standards anywhere in the world.

We have over 30 karate dojos in England and over 1200 active members. Led by Chief Instructor Sensei Ernie Molyneux (IOGKF 9th Dan), our association promotes a high standard of teaching Goju Ryu Karate through our network of qualified and very experienced karate instructors.

We have a full programme of local and regional training and competitions events for our existing members. For new members, Goju-Ryu karate is a proven and effective martial arts self-defence system that is open to all ages and abilities. If you are looking for something really interesting and captivating to occupy your leisure time, try out a free trial lesson at one of our many dojos.
