About Goju-Ryu Karate-do

Goju-Ryu karate-do is a martial art developed in Okinawa in the early 1900s. It was influenced by Chinese martial arts such as Shaolin White Crane, Monk Fist, and Tiger Boxing as well as native Okinawan fighting arts such as Okinawan kempo (“fist-method”).

Before the 1930s, the precursor to Goju-Ryu karate was known as Naha-Te or simply Te (Naha being the city in Okinawa where it was developed and Te meaning “hand.”) Kanryo Higaonna is the earliest known Naha-Te master.

The term Goju-Ryu (“hard/soft way”) was coined in the 1930s by Chojun Miyagi – a disciple of Higaonna’s – to describe this style of karate, which contains both hard and soft or yielding movements.
