The Blue River Martial Arts Club teaches traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-Do with an emphasis on practical self-defense. Moreover, as Goju-Ryu is a holistic art covering all aspects of personal self-defense, instruction is also given on throwing, joint locks, and other grappling techniques adapted from arts such as judo, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling. In addition, the club has a special once-a-month "defensive tactics" class, which is taught by an instructor from the Public Safety Institute.
