Kyle-san Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Recently while walking on campus I saw a banner advertising Gojukai Karate. I was just wondering if anyone knew the history of this style or anything helpful.
AGKK_Karateka Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Gogen Yamaguchi founded an international Karate organization named Goju-Kai. The actual style itself is Goju-Ryu Karate-do. The late Gogen Yamaguchi was a Japanese student who trained under Chojun Miyagi during the 1930s (before the latter returned to his native Okinawa). I have trained in Goju Kai dojos in the UK and Australia where the curriculum has been the same. I have no experience of a Goju-Ryu Dojo so I can only presume that the differences will be in the detail of specific techniques or emphasis in kata.
