Jundokan Hong Kong is an official branch of the Jundokan So-Honbu Dojo in Okinawa, Japan. 

​

The So-Honbu (総本部 / headquarter) Dojo was founded by Eiichi Miyazato, a senior student of Chojun Miyagi, the founder of Goju-ryu (剛柔流).  

​

Goju-ryu, "hard-soft style" in Japanese, is one of the main traditional Okinawan styles of karate, featuring a combination of hard and soft techniques. These techniques come from the famous martial arts book (Bubishi / 武備志) used by Okinawan masters during the 19th and 20th centuries. 
It implements soft circular blocking techniques in combination with powerful counter-strikes, such as kicks and close hand punches with softer open hand circular techniques for attacking, blocking, and controlling the opponent, including joint locks, grappling, take-downs, and throws.

​

Our dojo places strong emphasis on traditional techniques taught by the great masters. We focus on Kihon (基本 / basic), Kata (型 / a series of standardized movements or forms) and Bunkai (分解 / breaking down kata to analyse each elements/techniques). We also practice Hojo Undo (補助運動 / supplementary exercise with tools). Majority of karate dojo in Hong Kong are teaching Sundome rules only (寸止め / stopping a technique just prior to contact), but we can practice both dynamic sports karate (light touch) and traditional karate passing on knowledge from Chojun Miyagi sensei.

​

Ranking examinations are done every 3-4 months for qualified members. Members can participate in karate competitions held inside and outside of HK every year. Members can also practice at the So-Honbu Dojo in Okinawa or participate in the Jundokan international seminars overseas.
