Goyararu roughly translated means "Path to the Mind via the Physical body"

After an extensive study of pure Kung - Fu, Karate, Tai Chi, Muka Bazi, Gatika, etc. it was found that each doctrine displayed limitations by catering for, and creating, a particular type of person. Goyararu extracted basic essential techniques in an effort to improve all people, irrelevant of their PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL or EMOTIONAL condition, to build a solid platform unique to each individual.

The art of Goyararu is a mixture of:

KUNG-FU-continuous, dual and circular

KARATE-unyielding, direct, thrusting, snapping

MUKA BAZI-Indian upper body combat/conditioning

BOXING-British fist fighting

GATIKA-weapons training

SENSA DASI-merciless, uncompromising (Yin)

TAI CHI-yielding, flowing, passive (Yang)

 Physical Body           Path              Mind

Both the physical body and the mind experience fatigue and stress. When an action takes place in one it will cause a reaction in the other, but with correct guidance they can assist each other to deal with any potentially harmful effects caused before serious damage occurs. Therefore, the aim of every Goyararu practitioner should be to utilise all aspects of the Art form to bring into harmony the mind and body.

Each student is encouraged to be more flexible in movement and attitude and steer towards a deeper understanding of one`s self, so eventually learning to be more tolerant with others.
