children and there parents, who have difficulty relating to each other, and train them in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate.

Okinawa, a small island group, situated off the southern tip of Japan, is the true birth place of Karate. Goju Ryu was given its name by Okinawan Karate master Chojun Miyagi, whose surname was adopted and made famous by the film makers of the 'Karate Kid' series, who also based the film on Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate and not Japanese Karate-Do.
Shem Mitchell who teaches Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate explains that there are many places offering Japanese Karate training, but because those who teach Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate are expected to be of such a high standard themselves, there is only ONE place in the island of Ireland able to offer training in the true and original art of Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate.
This place is the Japanese Cultural Centre based at Church lane in Ballymoney. It is a claim that Ballymoney can be
proud to boast.
