About TOGK Northern NSW
Traditional Okinawan Goju-ryu Karaté-do Northern NSW has developed through the lineage of Senseis Chojun Miyagi (‘Gentlemen Warrior’) - Anichi Miyagi - Morio Higaonna - Graham Ravey. Sensei Myokai has received all gradings under Sensei Graham Ravey, and has trained for over 35 years.
We practice traditional functional respectful karaté in a sincere, passionate, ego-less manner. This art is not only an effective self-defense system, but a whole way of approaching life. We uphold the old values of Respect, Humility, Self-discipline, Perseverance, and Self-awareness.
Senior classes run for teens & adults, while Junior classes run for ages 6-12. All abilities, fitness levels, genders, and backgrounds are welcome. Beginners are well supported.
We train in the ‘gentle warrior’ way of life, using what we learn in the dojo to benefit our families and community. 'Go' (hard) - 'Ju' (soft) brings us balance in our responses to whatever confronts us in life.
2026 will see Sensei Myokai moving to the Kyogle area, opening classes upon their arrival.
Sensei Myokai An, 4th Dan
Sensei began karate over 35 years ago at the age of 14, in a small country town north of Brisbane, Qld Australia. Sensei attained black belt at age 19, and has never stopped training, travelling Australia and exploring other styles while always maintaining passion for, and practice in, Goju-ryu.
Sensei feels strongly about creating safety and empowerment in their community, and as a non-binary instructor, welcomes a diverse range of students. All ages, genders, cultures, fitness levels, and abilities are welcomed and encouraged. Self-defence is for every body.
Sensei teaches students to apply the deeper spiritual lessons of Traditional Goju-ryu (hard-soft) to daily life, developing balance, calm, personal power and self-responsibility by responding from one's ‘centre’.
Sensei also teaches self-defense courses, offers 'Wise Warriors' school programs, and is a trained Zen meditation teacher.
Here, we practice functional, intelligent, efficient self-defense that works for each unique student. Dojos are inclusive, friendly, challenging, disciplined places to learn and develop personal strength both externally and internally.
