Unique opporunity in Ballymoney

The documentary is narrated by popular BBC show host Jonathan Ross, who explains that the purpose of the series is to take a group of

children and there parents, who have difficulty relating to each other, and train them in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate.

The reason for this is that training in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate is very unique, and forges strong bonds between those who train in it, therefore improving the parent - child relationship.

Okinawa, a small island group, situated off the southern tip of Japan, is the true birth place of Karate. Goju Ryu was given its name by Okinawan Karate master Chojun Miyagi, whose surname was adopted and made famous by the film makers of the 'Karate Kid' series, who also based the film on Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate and not Japanese Karate-Do.

Shem Mitchell who teaches Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate explains that there are many places offering Japanese Karate training, but because those who teach Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate are expected to be of such a high standard themselves, there is only ONE place in the island of Ireland able to offer training in the true and original art of Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate.

This place is the Japanese Cultural Centre based at Church lane in Ballymoney. It is a claim that Ballymoney can be

proud to boast.

The Japanese Cultural Centre can be contacted by phone on 07730143765 or just web search 'Japanese Cultural Centre Northern Ireland' for more details. The Centre is always happy to welcome new students. It is the only opportunity to learn Karate in its original and true form.

The Centre is currently promoting the chance for families or individuals to win a free course in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate.
