Goshin Karate and Judo Academy

Goshin Karate and Judo Academy, 30 Years Same Location

Goshin Karate and Judo Academy sits on East Bell Road in north Scottsdale, operating from the same location for 30 years under Master Boggs. The school combines traditional Karate and Judo curriculum with kids martial arts, teen martial arts, adult martial arts, and women's self-defense under one roof.

Kids Judo Programs

The school accepts children as young as 3, with structured judo and karate curriculum running across the weekly schedule. Programs include:
- Kids Judo (foundational throws, breakfalls, mat etiquette, starting at age 3)
- Kids Karate (parallel curriculum for striking-focused students)
- Teen Martial Arts (continued ranks with sparring)
- Adult Martial Arts (continued curriculum for parents)
- Jujitsu (traditional Japanese grappling component)
- Women's Self-Defense (separate adult program)

What's Included

• Master Boggs as named head instructor (30 years same location)
• Both Karate and Judo curriculum under one roof
• Age 3 entry point (rare wide start in Scottsdale judo market)
• Kids, teen, adult, and women's programs
• North Scottsdale Bell Road location (Scottsdale/Phoenix border)

Experience

30 years operating from the same location puts Goshin in the institutional-stability category - rare for any martial arts school. The dual karate-and-judo curriculum lets kids cross-train standing throws with striking technique rather than picking one and missing the other. The age 3 judo entry is unusually early. Pattern fits north-Scottsdale families wanting their child in a long-tenured school with cross-training between karate and judo.
