Goju
ryu History
The founder of Goju-ryu was Chojun
Miyagi (1888-1953). He became a disciple of Kanryo Higaonna (1853-1915), the
founder of the Naha-te style, when he was 14. He endured harsh ascetic practices
and in 1915 went to Fujian Province in China to perfect his skills in the
martial arts. He also undertook a lot of research on noted Chinese warriors. As
a result, he was able to take over and organize karate techniques and the
principles of the martial arts that he had been taught. He consolidated modern
karate-do, incorporating effective elements of both athletics and the martial
arts in addition to the principles of reason and science.
Chojun Miyagi's most promising disciple, Jinan Shinzato, gave a demonstration at
the 'All Japan Martial Arts Tournament Offering Congratulations on the Emperor's
Accession' held in Meiji Jingu Shrine in 1929. Afterwards he was asked what
school of karate he belonged to. When he returned home, he told master Miyagi
about this and Miyagi decided to choose the name Goju-ryu (the hard-soft style),
inspired by one of the 'Eight Precepts' of Kempo, written in the Bubishi, and
meaning 'The way embraces both hard and soft, both inhalation and exhalation.
The main characteristic of Goju-ryu is the 'respiration method' accompanied by
vocal exclamations, emphasizing 'inhaling and exhaling'and 'bringing force in
and sending force out'.
