Gogen "The Cat" Yamaguchi studied and trained under Grandmaster Chojun Miyagi. Yamaguchi opened the first Goju-Ryu dojo in Japan. He was the first to promote jukumite in the dojo and he implemented the Teikyoku katas into the system to better prepare students for advance katas. Yamaguchi successfully unified all karate dojos, known as the All Japan Karatedo Organization. Yamaguchi received his 10th dan from Miyagi in 1951 and became the successor to the Goju-Ryu system.
