Is Goju-Ryu Karate a good compliment to Judo esp in relation to self defence? I'm thinking of training 3 nights a week. Week one- Judo twice and Goju-Ryu once and Week two- Judo once and Goju-Ryu twice. Would this be good and would it help me create a decent self defence style?

Yes, even though Goju ryu incorporates a lot of throwing and grappling. It's still a karate ryuha, so it'll mostly contain striking. You should have a pretty good self-defense style, especially when Goju ryu has a lot of exercises and low, strong stances.

Did you do a search before you posted this question?

You should.

You asked this question before and two of us here answered.

We are both Teachers of Goju Ryu.

We know what we are talking about.
