Grandmaster Chojun Miyagi was born on April 25, 1888 in an aristocratic family. His family was in the import/export business and owned two ships which made regular trips to mainland China, placing them among the wealthiest families in the area.
He began training in karate under Kanyro Higaonna at the age of 14, in 1902. Like his teacher before him, because of his great natural talent and fierce determination, he progressed very rapidly. The training was severe beyond belief at times but he practiced even harder with an enthusiasm unmatched bu any of the other students. Chojun Miyagi became "uchi deshi" (private disciple) of Kanyro Higaonna. He studied with his teacher for 14 years before his teacher's death in 1915.
In 1915 he journeyed to Fuzhou, China, the city where his teacher had studied martial arts, to further his research. This was one of the three trips he made to China.(Back to top)
On his return to Okinawa he began to teach martial arts at his home in Naha. Later, he also taught at the Okinawa Prefecture, and the Naha Commercial High. He worked hard to spread karate throughout Okinawa and mainland Japan to earn Naha-te, a status equal to that of the highly respected Japanese martial arts of Judo and Kendo. To achieve this, he traveled frequently to mainland Japan where he was invited to teach karate at Kyoto University and Ritsumei Kan University. In 1933 karate was registered at the Butoku Kai, the centre for all martial arts in Japan. This was a milestone for karate as it means that it was recognised on a level with the highly respected martial arts of Japan. .(Back to top)
Chojun Miyagi delicated his whole live to Karate. He was responsible for structuring Naha-te (which he later name Goju-Ryu) into a systematized discipline which could be taught to society in general. This teaching system that he formulated enable karate to be taught in schools for the benefit of the young, and to reach vast numbers of people throughout the world. .(Back to top)
His disciples includes the following:
Higa Seko, Shinzato Jin'an, Madanbashi Keiyo, Tamaki Yusei, Sakiyama Tatsunori, Kina Seiko, Yagi Meitoku, Miyazato Ei'ichi, Najo Kiji, Tamaki Bushun, Tasaki Kogyu, Nakaima Genkai, Furusen Shunshin, Tomoyose Kiei, Miyazato Eiko, Yagi Kamaree, Yogi Jitsuei, Yamaguchi Gogen, Uehara Yukinori, Iha Koshin, Aragaki Shuichi.
Chojun Miyagi died on October 8, 1953 of a heart attack at the age of 65.
| What is JKF Gojukai? Karatedo in Okinawa can be broadly divided into two sects, Nahate and Shurite. The most popular school of Nahate is Gojukai, which is a strain of Chinese Nanpa Shorin-ken. In 1930, the founder Chojun Miyagi named his school "Goju-ryu". He cited a line to name his school from "Bubishi" which is a traditional book of Shorin-ken Hakkaku-mon in Fujian province, China. |  | |||
 | Techniques The founder Chojun Miyagi defined essence of karatedo as that "Karatedo is a measure to train your body and mind, to keep in shape and to protect yourself in a dangerous situation." Fights of martial arts are fights of life or death. Therefore, we need to be serious and to concentrate on practice to learn techniques for survival in serious fights. To do so, Chojun Miyagi thought that a harmonious development of body and mind is necessary and he devised many training methods through his hard training. He introduced modern point of view into conventional meditation and health program and developed Junbi Undo, or preparation exercise which was produced for improving your health, and Hojo Undo, or supplementary exercise which is practiced with equipment from an early stage of school's development. He developed rational system of training. Junbi Undo and Hojo Undo are still actively used without any changes. |
| Ki, Soku and Tai The basic Kata Sanchin, Kaishu, or open hand Kata Gekisai 1 and 2, Heishu, or closed hand Kata Tensho, authentic Kata of Kanryo Higaona Sensei such as Saifa, Seiyunchin, Shisochin, Sanseiru, Seipai, Kururunfa, Seisan and Suparinpei are instructed. It is said that Sanchin is the basic Kata of Goju-ryu to study "Ki, Soku and Tai" which are necessary factors of martial arts, and this is a basic Kata for training to learn right breathing and posture for massive attack and defense techniques. The founder Chojun Miyagi studied Rokkish from Chinese boxing Nan-ha Shorin-ken Hakkaku-ken and developed Tensho as Heishu Kata. Tensho aims to study "Ki, Soku and Tai" as same as Sanchin and several Uke techniques and attacking techniques by Shotei are featuring. |  |
