About Us

AUKC – One Club, Two Schools

The Adelaide University Karate Club (AUKC) teaches traditional Goju Ryu Karate through two respected schools: Seishikan and IKGA.

Our head instructors from both schools have over 30 years of teaching experience, bringing deep knowledge, practical skill, and a strong commitment to student development.

What is Goju Ryu?

“Go” means hard.
“Ju” means soft.

Goju Ryu Karate emphasises balance — hard and soft, fast and slow, strong and relaxed. Students learn how to move with power and control, using efficient technique rather than brute strength.

Training includes:

  • Kihon (Basics)

  • Kata (Structured forms and movement sequences)
