The Goju-Ryu Academy is not just a dojo—it’s a cultural bridge that connects the people of Georgia to the rich heritage of Japan.
Our mission is to create a vibrant hub for traditional Japanese martial arts, culture, and philosophy in our community. This vision started with our head Sensei, who has worked tirelessly on this project for over 7 years. His dedication and passion have brought us to this moment, where the dream is becoming a reality, and we are now striving to finish the Academy with the help of people like you.
By supporting this project, you help foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Japanese traditions, nurturing both physical and spiritual growth. As a unique project in the region, the Goju-Ryu. The Academy will help the people of Georgia—particularly in a still-developing country—gain the benefits of martial arts and cultural education, providing a foundation of strength, discipline, and lifelong learning.
✊ We believe in making this journey accessible to everyone, which is why we also offer free classes to those who cannot afford the cost of training. This ensures that no one is left behind in experiencing the transformative power of martial arts and cultural exchange.
At the Academy, we also offer educational classes for children, teens, and adults, making Japanese culture accessible to all generations. Through our structured training programs, participants will learn the art of Karate while developing crucial life skills like discipline, respect, mindfulness, and perseverance.
By building the Goju-Ryu Academy, we aim to transform the lives of around 1,000 children and community members in Georgia. We envision a space where the spirit of martial arts empowers people to lead lives of integrity, confidence, and strength.
This is a social project made possible by the community—local families, friends and supporters from across the globe who share the same values of respect, discipline, and lifelong learning.
Your support will go directly toward building this Academy—a place where both martial arts and cultural education thrive. Please join us in creating a space that inspires and uplifts our community. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a step toward making this vision a reality.
