What I'd love to know is how they justify this statement, taken from their website:
"Go-Kan-Ryu Karate is a traditional Japanese style of karate. The style was founded by Robert Sullivan in 1984 in Adelaide, South Australia – Australia. "
I've highlighted the conflicting information
surely traditional means something with a tradition, ie it's been going on for a while, not just started up in 1984
Now if they'd said it was founded in 1984, based on traditional japanese karate, THAT would make sense, but their statement doesn't make sense to me as it stands
