Tsuru Ki GoJu Ryu is a branch school of Austino's Karate Do. Master Cianelli has studied under Master's Austino, Sr. and Jr.  since 1992.

Major emphasis is given to breathing correctly. Goju Ryu practices methods that include body strengthening and conditioning, its basic approach to fighting (distance, stickiness, power generation, etc.), and partner drills. It incorporates both circular and linear movements into its curriculum and combines hard striking attacks such as kicks and close hand punches with softer open hand circular techniques for attacking, blocking, and controlling the opponent, including locks, grappling, takedowns and throws.

"Do not be struck by others, do not strike others, and avoid trouble at all costs".  This teaching is an essence of Goju-Ryu Karate-Do.  In other words, after acquiring physical strength, one's attitude towards life should be the pursuits of a tranquil existence and an unfettered mind.  This state of peaceful coexistence between body and mind can be achieved only after rigorous training and tireless efforts on the part of the student of Goju-Ryu Karate.

The benefits from training Kobudo on a physical, mental and spiritual level are the same as Karate. Kobudo training develops physical fitness and positive character traits. The study of Kobudo also works in conjunction with Karate and balances out the Karate practitioner’s training. In ancient times, weaponry and empty hand techniques were, for the most part, studied together. Kobudo also teaches how to use everyday items as self-defense weapons and the weapon itself empowers the person using it against an attacker.
