First Warrior Week 2017
Warrior week was created in order to preserve the true art of Budo within Goju Kai by putting our top senior karateka through some of the toughest and most gruelling training under the best Japanese Masters thus creating an understanding and ethos that will be filtered down to our junior students through our senior instructors.
This event started in 2017 and the second warrior week was held in 2019.
