"I am writing to thank you for the wonderful visit yesterday. Goju ryu is everything I had expected it would be and more. I am very proud to have Goju as part of my Isshin-ryu heritage. Thanks for helping me with the Hojo undo and the stance work. Mark and I were both very impressed with the your Sempai....very strong kata!!! Thanks again and my very best to you in the future!!! You guys are doing what I think "REAL" karate is supposed to be!!! AWESOME!! Respectfully, Jeff R."
"I can't thank you enough for allowing Jeff and I to visit your dojo and sharing your art with us. Had a great time and really enjoyed working with you and David. It just makes me smile all over to get to see karate performed at such a high level. Amazing kata performance...really impressive...precise and powerful. I've been training in Isshin-ryu for about ten years and I love the art, but always felt like we were missing something. Goju Ryu seems to have done a better job of passing on the heritage and depth of Okinawan karate and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to train with you. Again, many thanks for your kindness and generosity. Sincerely, Mark M."

Since its establishment in 1979, the IOGKF has attracted culturally diverse martial arts practitioners from around the world. Many have joined the organization after recognizing the authenticity and excellence of the IOGKF with its direct karate lineage tracing back to Bushi Chojun Miyagi, the founder of Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-do.
