“Combing the knowledge gained by personal training, the discipline of martial arts and the therapeutic techniques of sports injury massage, I believe I offer a complete holistic approach for anyone and everyone with an interest in leading a healthy lifestyle.”
Sensei Simon Golland started training in Martial Arts over 17 years ago, studying a variety of different styles such as Shotokan, Jujitsu and traditional weapons. He first discovered Goju Ryu Karate at Greystones Karate Club (Sheffield's oldest Goju Ryu Karate Club) and has trained in this style ever since, believing Goju Ryu is a complete system. In 2006 Sensei Golland competed in the ‘I.O.G.K.F World Championships, Canada’, as a member of the O.T.G.K.A England squad.
Continually developing his skills Sensei Golland has received instruction from renowned martial artists across the globe such as Higaonna Sensei (I.O.G.K.F), George Andrews Sensei (O.T.G.K.A), Martin Paul Watts (White Crane Kung Fu), plus regularly trains with Graham Ravey Sensei (T.O.G.K.A) to mention a few.
Old or young, male or female, Goju Ryu has something for everyone. As well as Karate being a fantastic way to keep fit, there is a serious side to martial arts.
