Welcome to the Institute of Traditional Karate Goulburn
Here we train in traditional Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate-do, as taught by the founder of Okinawa Goju Ryu, Miyagi Chojun Sensei. This art has been passed down and is being taught by Sensei Paul Parlett in the Dojo today.
The Institute of Traditional Karate was started by Sensei David Lambert in the early 1980’s in a Dojo above the legendary JT’s Gym in Auburn Street Goulburn, and since then has moved to several different locations in Goulburn, and is now located in the Shape Squash and Fitness Centre in Bradfordville Goulburn.
Sensei Paul Parlett is the head instructor at the institute, and is the most senior student of the late Sensei David Lambert. Sensei David Lambert sadly passed away in May 2000 after a battle with cancer, his wish was for his senior students to continue teaching karate to his students, this tradition was continued by Sensei’s Mark Hailston, Paul Parlett and Tim Smith. Since then, Sensei Hailston and Smith have moved on due to other commitments, and now the tradition continues and is in the hands of Sensei Parlett.
