The English Goju-Ryu Karate Do Association was formed in 1973 under the guidance of Sensei James Rousseau. At that time it was called the BGKA (the "B" stood for British as Scotland was also included). The founder dojos of the BGKA were Liverpool, Portsmouth, London and Fife. A karate association and its associated individual dojos are defined by the standards of excellence set by its senior instructors.
