The All Africa Karate-Do Goju Kai Hombu Dojo was opened in April 1982 by Saiko Shihan Goshi Yamaguchi, son of karate legend Kaiso Gogen Yamaguchi (the Cat) and Peter Brandon Hanshi.
These two men went on to be all they could be in the world of Goju Kai Karate. Saiko Shihan Goshi Yamauchi became the President of the International Karate-Do Goju Kai Association (the position his late father bestowed on him) and Peter Brandon Hanshi was made the President of Goju Kai for the African Continent as well as the Vice-President of the IKGA.
