W.G.K.A. - 世界剛柔流空手同盟
W.G.K.A. (World Gojuryu Karate Alliance) - is a first attempt at simple communication between Gōjū practitioners around the world. No political intentions, no intent to propound one system of Kai/Kan of Goju over another - simply facilitation of communication of events and activities of interest to Gōjū practitioners in and from countries all over the globe. NO personal grudges played out, no disparagement of another's name, rep, style, teaching methods, just sharing Gōjū with each other- thoughts, aspirations, training experiences. W.K.G.A. was founded in 2010 by Steven Berkowtiz Hanshi, who served as the first president of the association from 2010 to 2018 when he passed. W.K.G.A. welcomes all lineages of Gōjū-ryū to join and work together to preserve Gōjū-ryū as a whole for future generations..

USA Karate
USA Karate, Formerly: USA National Karate-dō Federation, and is a member of the US Olympic Committee. Our club in the Austin area will be affiliating to USA Karate as soon as possible, to allow new members the opportunity to, where possible, compete in Sport Karate. This is not something we as a club actively pursues, as Karate is not seen as a sport, but rather an art; a martial art. We would like to create opportunities however for those who see opportunities in Karate as a sport, to compete and excel at it.
