This second release features two anniversary t-shirts, one long sleeve shirt, and two commermorative caps. All of these products will be available this week at the dojo. However, while we expect that inventory will be re-stocked, we also expect that popular sizes will quickly sell-out. Orders for pickup may be placed on the [Goju Karate Store](https://gojustore.square.site/?ref=gojukarate.com) website at any time, and for students outside New York City, orders can be shipped. You can also purchase clothing directly at the Front Desk at the dojo. Here's a sneak peek at all the new items arriving: ### The Classic Red Fifteen years ago, the very first t-shirt designed and sold by Goju Karate was a red short sleeve, with the kanji for Goju on it. That shirt, and its black version, were sold for several years and had several production runs. However, it hasn't been available in more than ten years. Rumor has it that there are several in the hands of senior blackbelts at the dojo, and you might catch of sighting of one of them at a special event or two. That red t-shirt later inspired the Third Anniversary red t-shirt produced in 2014, which is also very rare (a few remaining shirts are available at the Front Desk, but only in very obscure sizes). ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/red-tshirt-15-anniversary-front.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/red-tshirt-15-anniversary-back.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/red-tshirt-15-anniversary-front-zoom.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/red-tshirt-15-anniversary-back-zoom.jpg) Now, on the 15th Anniversary of Goju Karate, a new red t-shirt debuts as an homage to the original. Styled in the same colors and fabrics, it has both the original kanji on the front and a new dynamic graphic. The back has a special "retro" look for the year 2011 when the dojo was founded.

That shirt, unlike its red cousin, was the standard dojo t-shirt for many years until inventory ran out after many production runs. It was pretty common to see a number of them in every Endurance Class, but eventually those t-shirts were too rare to be used for a standard workout, and have since gone into drawers to be saved as a part of the early history of the dojo. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-tshirt-15-anniversary-front.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-tshirt-15-anniversary-back.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-tshirt-15-anniversary-back-zoom.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-tshirt-15-anniversary-front-zoom.jpg) Now, once again, the standard black dojo t-shirt is back in production, updated with a new dynamic design, and it's bound to be a common sight in Endurance Class once more. And you might want to get two or three: one for endurance class, one to save, and one to impress everyone else with!

A very subtle mid-chest design makes this shirt a great casual wear any place, and this long sleeve shirt is great for any weather. Not to mention, it looks darn sharp with those sleeves rolled-up! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-longsleeve-2026-front-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-longsleeve-2026-back.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-longsleeve-2026-zoom-front.png) Students have wanted a more casual shirt that still displays their dojo affiliation, and this shirt absolutely fits the missing piece of the merch puzzle.

And then never made again. Now, returning for the 15th Anniversary, a new black Goju Karate Cap debuts! The cap is designed in a sharp red and black color-way and features the Go Ju kanji on the front, and the "2011-2026" logotype on the back recognizing the fifteen year history of the dojo. The cap itself is an Imperial X210P Performance Cap – Imperial has been crafting quality hats since 1916 and this model is the official cap of many sporting events in the United States, including a variety of golf tournaments such as the PGA Tour. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-cap-15-anniversary-front.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-cap-15-anniversary-back.jpg) The cap has an adjustable headband -- one size fits all. The headband is a self-fabric micro hook & loop with elastic and garage tuck-in. It also features: - lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking fabric - performance moisture-wicking and anti-microbial sweatband - UPF 50+ [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/black-cap-15-anniversary-front-1.jpg)](https://gojustore.square.site/?ref=gojukarate.com) ****The Black Hat:** **One Size* [Buy It Here ](https://gojustore.square.site/?ref=gojukarate.com) ### ### The Red Hat There's never been a red Goju Karate cap.... until now. Specially designed for the 15th Anniversary of the dojo, the cap is in a gorgeous red-burgundy color-way and features the Go Ju kanji on the front, and the "established 1881" logotype on the back (commemorating the first classes taught by Kanryo Hiagonna in Okinawa). Like it's black sibling, this cap itself is an Imperial X210P Performance Cap – Imperial has been crafting quality hats since 1916 and this model is the official cap of many sporting events in the United States, including a variety of golf tournaments such as the PGA Tour. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/red-cap-15-anniversary-front.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/eb/9e/eb9ebba1-1832-4ab5-9b46-96567d9f3273/content/images/2026/09/red-cap-15-anniversary-back.jpg) The cap has an adjustable headband -- one size fits all.
