It doesn't look all that bad to me, though I am no expert--either
in martial arts or in the Japanese language.
If I spell it slightly differently, it is
Goshin-ryuu kempou juujutsu.
"Juujutsu" is Japanese for "jujitsu."
"Kempou" could be either "fencing" or "the Chinese art of
self-defense." Does your club feature swordplay?
"Goshin" is "self-defense."
The "ryuu" means a particular style of something, a unique
method of doing something as taught by a certain teacher.
So your name might be construed as "fencing and
jujitsu done in the self-defense style."
If you intended "School of Self-defense--We teach fencing
and jujitsu" by "goshin ryuu," then I think you might be wrong.
That is a different kind of "school."

If you want a really Japanese sounding name then my suggestions are
Let's Karate Great!
or Fighto Kurabu

This comment of Vietnam veteran D'Hage reminds me of those
French generals who "are always fighting the previous war."
And, speaking of protracted conflicts, Brigadier D'Hage also
said: "The defence forces in this country at the moment are
quite stretched. They're in Timor, Bougainville."
Anyhow, I thought the Marines already took Bougainville in 1943.

have to say something.
You gave your reason for the change of name as being because you don't want
to be known by a name that shows your local area.
Why do you need a Japanese name? If you can't speak/read Japanese why have
a Japanese name? I've seen some terrible things written which were
"supposed" to be translations.
There are already plenty of styles that use Goshin Ryu, if you were going
to be completely correct you would, by the way spell it as Ju Jutsu.
Your local name is good enough, it's fairly unique, has good old English
connections, be proud of where you come from.
I'm sure many people on this list can produce their favourite mistakes from
the martial arts.

I think the kanji should be:
誤診流 憲法 銃実
The literal meaning is "The way of misdiagnosis for a real gun
constitution", but that does seem like an odd name for a martial arts
club to me, although it might appeal to US members.
御新竜 健保 充実
which is "New dragon full health insurance", which has a note of
implied danger and excitement, but not too much, and reminds me, for
some reason, of this sketch: http://bsc.edu/~gklersey/VGC-Sketch.htm

Well, in that case it would hardly be likely to be the genesis of a
ryuu.

Correct.
>>Anyhow, I thought the Marines already took Bougainville in 1943.
That was several wars ago. There's been another one going on in
Bougainville for the last few years.

The translation I used is common in the martial arts world and deemed to
mean Self Protection in that context, however we may all have been
hoodwinked.
I took the translation directly from

Possibly the worst server that uses the EDICT file. It does everything
in romaji, its search techniques shows words *ending* with the key first,
it shows ten items/search, then gives up, etc. etc.
I got so many emails complaining that "my" dictionary was so poor that
I convinced the guy who runs the server to put a disclaimer from me on the
front page.

[blah blah blah]
One wonders: If you are already confident that your translation
is correct, why bother anyone?
Your original question was stupid.
Someone pointed out that you posed the same stupid
question on another board.
Knowing that the real experts would not deign to give you a
straight answer, I gave you a straight answer.
Either you did not read it, or you are mentally incapable
of distinguishing advice from ridicule.
The only useful thing in this thread is that I learned to my
surprise--and apparently to Michael Cash's surprise as
well--that there really is a "Self-Defense Style" of martial
arts and that Goshin-ryuu is valid. (Even though valid, it
is still silly.)

To the extent that implied redundancy is silly, yes. Quite so.
