It is our belief that good quality martial arts is based upon pure skill achieved through
a deep understanding of principles, combined with many hours of hard work and
practise in the Dojo, or place of training.
We also believe that True Karate should be taught within the parameters of people
having good etiquette,courtesy and manners. As taught and passed on correctly
Okinawan Karate not only produces good all round Martial artists, but also produces
good nice people too.
Glyn Jones accepts that the ways of training and methods used at his Dojo are not for everyone, and he doesn't expect them to be.
The attitude and atmosphere within his Dojo is one of seriousness and hard work, whilst being accompanied by a friendly and approachable manner.

As the assigned England Shibu Cho, Glyn Jones was certified to 5th Dan in Okinawa by his teacher Shigetoshi Senaha Sensei 9th Dan.
Of which Glyn honestly & openly wishes to push and pass on the teachings of his teacher in Okinawan.
As passed on to him by his teacher Meitoku Yagi Sensei, and before him Chojun Miyagi Sensei.
Therefore he does not lower standards or compromise teachings to attract new students in to his Dojo, quite the opposite in fact.  
All students though are individuals and treated as such and work within their own capabilities.

Perspective new students must be of at least 16 years of age and are accepted within our Dojo by Glyn Jones on a trial basis.
As was always the traditional way, Glyn chooses who he wishes to teach the Art of Okinawan Karate to.  

Anyone who wishes to be apart of us is to attend training sessions regularly, be hard working, dedicated, courteous, & sincere.
Members of the Okinawa Karate U.K. Ryusyokai Dojo are predominately long standing and as such there is a
warm welcome guaranteed to all serious people wishing to train with us.
In Okinawan Hogen "Kukuru" is used to describe a good heart or a kind person.
This word is the foundation of each and every member.
Our Dojo is based in the West Midlands area of
England, U.K. (Rowley Regis & Cradley).
Being formed by Glyn Jones Sensei with the intention of creating a place of training
that would genuinely reflect the more authentic, or original ways of practising
Okinawan Karate.
This being through Glyn's base Art of Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate, together with
Okinawa Kobu Jutsu. Backed up by Glyn's deep understanding of old style Judo &
Ju Jutsu, as taught to him by his father as a youngster.
Thus Incorporating many highly effective in fighting training drills.

Karate he feels is an Art so often neglected, watered down, or at times totally
misunderstood or very poorly represented in the West.

Our Dojo has no interest in financial gain, large classes, sporty competitions,
fancy offers or frills.
Members just chip together to keep the Dojo going. We are not about money!
We have a Dojo Sensei, Sempai, Treasurer & Secretary.

We focus solely on studying Okinawan Karate training methods as taught to us by
teachers in Okinawa. Then we work on these aspects to the highest levels of
effectiveness, with no compromise or outside distractions.
