If you are looking for the traditional karate experience in Miami, this is the dojo you want to attend. There are many qualified senior students to help new students and the sensei is very knowledgeable about the material. Not only is this dojo a fountain of knowledge for Okinawan Goju Ryu, but each individual class is always different, intense, and fun.
