Who We Are

At Advance Combative Theories, we believe that martial arts is more than exercise and learning how to defend yourself—it’s about a lifelong journey of growth and self-improvement. Our dojo is a place where we honor the traditions of the Goju Ryu system of Karate (connected directly in Japan), while constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

In our new location at 1068 Barton Street East, we are now partnering with Midori, to offer arts education to cultivate intellectual and creative strength.

Helping people move forward since 1998.

Classes are really amazing!

They’re genuinely interested in sharing their knowledge.
“I really appreciate is the open-mindedness of the instructors. There’s no ego, and they’re never dismissive of other approaches—they’re genuinely interested in sharing their knowledge. Between the instructors and fellow students, it’s easy to show up, stay engaged, and feel like you’re part of something.“
