More Info Miyagi Chojun started Karate training learning Shuri-te before beginning studies of Naha-te with Higashionna Kanryo. In 1915, in order to further his research, he travelled to Fuzhou, China where his Sensei studied. When he returned to Okinawa he taught & founded his own style of karate, which he named Goju-Ryu. (Hard-Soft). Gojo-Ryu was the first Okinawan art to be registered at the Dai Nippon Butoku-Kai, the centre for all martial arts in Japan. One of his notable students was Gogen Yamaguchi (1909-1989).
