Okinawan Hatha Goju Ryu Karate Do

Okinawan Hatha Goju Ryu Karate Do is pure Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate with Hatha yoga exercises done as a way of stretching the body and relaxation. This form of Goju Ryu was created in the 1970’s by three of Central New York's most famous karate practitioners; Master Frankie Mitchell, Master Oliver Cole, and Master Richard E. Brooks, of the Syracuse Spinning Cobras Karate Association in Syracuse, NY.
Shihan Frankie Mitchell (a current student of Grandmaster John Roseberry of the Sho-Rei-Shobu-Kan) and Master Oliver Cole were former students of Grand Master Frank Van Lenten and Peter Musacchio Sensei of the internationally renowned Central New York Family Fitness Karate school in Syracuse NY. After leaving CNY Karate, Shihan Frankie Mitchell formed the Syracuse Spinning Cobras Karate School of Syracuse, NY at Dunbar Center and at the YMCA.
Okinawan Hatha Goju Ryu is an effective form of Karate. It uses modern day approaches to self-defense and utilizes different types of approaches to urban combat. A Hatha Goju Ryu stylist is able to use anything as a weapon and is capable of handling oneself in any self-defense situation.
While Hatha Goju Ryu uses modern approaches to self-defense, it still maintains its traditional background of Chojun Miyagi's Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate-Do.
