Peter began training with Zen do Kai Karate in 1972 under Sensei Billy Manne (now 8th dan Kyoshi). Shortly after Peter transfered to the City dojo of Goju Kai and as well trained for many years under Tino Ceberano at Balwyn. Peter joined the IGK in 2003 and with Russ established the Outer Eastern IGK Martial Arts Club in 2006.
2nd kanji implies a sense of to remain/stay behind/detain, (eg: inviting a friend over for dinner and not wanting him to leave, wanting him to stay longer).

Interestingly, a sense of usage of this 2nd kanji can also be seen in a Wing Chun MA saying "lui lao (lao=2nd kanji in Cantonese) hui soong, lut sao jik chung" (ie: "as my opponent comes in, I receive him; as he leaves, I escort him; upon loss of contact, I charge forward") This idea/concept of "lao" is, I believe, a common one in Chinese MA (eg: TaiChi, Mantis), though it may be expressed/interpreted differently.
The art of Naha-te, founded by Kanryo Higaonna Sensei, forms the basis of Goju Ryu Karate. Kanryo Higaonna Sensei was born in 1853 and was part of the lower gentry. He longed to study in China the art of Chinese Kempo, however, was lacking in financial means until he was introduced to the owner of a ship.
He belonged to the lower gentry and went by the name "Machu" as a small boy. From childhood Machu showed great interest in the fighting arts and was eager to learn as much as possible. Despite his small size for his age, Machu could move very quickly and his body was extremely limber. At age fourteen Machu began to learn Chinese Kempo.
He was named Jitsumi. Already as a youngster he showed great interest in the Martial Arts. During his early school days he trained kendo, (Japanese fencing) and it was during this time that he started his karate training under the tutelage of Mr Maruta, a carpenter from Okinawa. Mr Maruta who was a Goju-ryu practitioner was drawn to the young Yamaguchi's serious attitude and his willingness to train hard.
