OUR LEGACY
The legacy of Shihan F. K. Hu and his late son, Rodney K. S. Hu, rooted in their Hawaiian heritage, embodies the spirit of ‘ohana, or family. From their beginnings in Honolulu to the establishment of Rodney Hu Goju Ryu Karate in Stockton, California, their journey epitomizes unity, respect, and tradition.
Under Shihan F. K. Hu's guidance, the dojo became a beacon of excellence, nurturing notable students like Sensei Peter Garcia and Sensei Bobby Ulep. Their dedication and leadership enriched the dojo's legacy, fostering a sense of belonging and support among students and instructors alike.
Sensei Mark Williams, now leading Rodney Hu Goju Ryu Karate, carries forward this tradition with humility and determination. Honoring the teachings of his predecessors, he ensures that the spirit of 'ohana remains vibrant, preserving the legacy for future generations.

Family friend environment to train. Great place for parents to watch kids train. Great instructors
This is the place that every school should strive to emulate. The teaching, care and attention that sensei Rodney and his instructors brings to each class is extraordinary. It is clear that sensei has a vision to help the young people that walk through the door in as many ways as he can. Students learn respect, honor, fair play, and self defense. I recommend anyone considering martial arts to stop by and check out the environment that Rodney has created.
