Kokoro Kai Goju Karate is based on the origins of Karate - Do, which goes back to the ancient travels of Buddhist Monks throughout the Asian frontier. Unarmed and oppressed, it became necessary for them to develop a weaponless form of self-defence for their survival. Merchants travelling south from China to the Ryuku islands, or Okinawa, brought with them this art of the "Chinese hand" To-De (later to be called Karate empty-hand).

During this time, Japan invaded these islands and it's warriors found themselves confronted by the fierce retaliation of skilled practitioners in the secret art of Karate - Do. In the late 19th century an enthusiastic youngster by the name of Chojun Miyagi, became well skilled in the art and was determined to know more. He was advised to travel China to study the many different methods of Karate and other martial arts.
