All students may take an unlimited number of classes; Sensei encourages all students to train as frequently as possible, and for adults, to take a wide range of classes in addition to General Class.
We have two schedules to help you understand all of the classes available at Goju Karate.
Weekly Schedule provides a schedule of the standard week at the NYC dojo. The weekly schedule is occasionally modified to reflect special events and holidays. (The calendar for those events and holidays is here.)
Today@Goju Karate is updated daily to reflect schedule changes, holidays, and special events.

Jishu means "self-study" and is an open class led by senior students rather than Sensei, and offers the opportunity to both study independently as well as with other students. Some Jishu classes are available by invitation only, while others are offered to all students. See the daily-updated TODAY@Goju below for days when Jishu classes are offered.
