Yeah, these Okinawan and their samurai show up their faces oversea as well. They are notably for their head band wear which resemble funeral rite for the Vietnamese and then referred as "Phu` Tang". Those that did settle are known as "Phu` Nam", which translated from Nom means swollen from the South.
Karate is very popular in Vietnam until after 1975, when Koreans started sending disciples to teach Tae Kwon Do to party officials.
I think I have read some where that the Grand Mater Masutatsu Oyama formed his kyokushin style basically from okinawa karate. And in this footage the similarity of okinawa karate to the kyokushin shows that kyokushin is basically originated from okinawa karate. Really very good art. I would love to learn okinawa karate.
please people do not believe such video as this, they are all makebelieve. true martial arts experts must study and train all their lives. As someone who study with Ninja masters and kung fu masters, I could easily destroy these so-calld fighters in five seconds, first throwing stars into their forehead then leaping on them with lightning speed and cracking their necks.
That's the problem with this kind of thing: there is no such thing as "pure karate", "pure martial arts" - all of martial artistry is equally pure and equally impure; that's a strength. To say "pure" is a waste of four letters.
@JackieBrown101 And not only that. I've never met a Japanese or Chinese Sensei/Sifu of high rank who learned only from his school - all the master and grand masters learned from anyone who had something to teach. Martial Arts are never entirely complete and all-encompassing: there's always something one style will cover better than the other, and there's always something you Sifu will overlook.
Therefore, it is not wrong to study multiple styles, multiple ways, and combine them. IMO, at least.
@rockloverdude it is not, but you should look up the roots of okinawan karate. the original name of karate in kanji character and current character is different. The kung fu is not original name of all martial arts too. It's called chinese kenpo which become fundamental of aisan martial arts. Okinawa is part of Japan but Okinawa was different kingdom in ancient era, and they had totally different martial art themselves. Try to look up, you will find more.
@lvglvglvg1 Kobudo which created Karate was created under the guidence of the chinese, I don't exactly know which style or anything, so I just said Kung Fu.
@rockloverdude Really?? Think you may need to study the subject a little? The art you are trying to refer to is generally known as Chuan Fa. In Chinese, kung fu can be used in contexts completely unrelated to martial arts, and refers colloquially to any individual accomplishment or skill cultivated through long and hard work. Now what, Einstein? Look up wushu in your Funk and Wagonel.
@rockloverdude :)) the first martial art was when a caveman taught his son how to punch people, but to restrain himself from hurting them unnecessarily. Martial arts means a system of self-defense combined with philosophy and honor. Trust me, there were martial arts way before the Kung Fu we know today.
I understand what you mean, however. Yes, it is true that Shaolin Kung Fu had the most influence on Asian martial arts as a whole. But it is not the forefather of all martial arts.
Karate is simple, there is no shrouded mystery of a 'lost' 450 year art. Train hard, dedicate yourself no matter what style and you WILL be a good fighter. All the hype and ceremony is to make people take it seriously and put in the hours. If you want to be a good karate man, a determined attitude and plenty of practice is what you need. Most people give up before they have really learnt anything.

I hope to one day train in Okinawa after I get my black belt here in goju ryu. I'm sure the katas my sensei teach are no different but I want to experience the conditioning they do in okinawa and the practice of all the techniques that may have be missed.
this is good but isnt the best martial arts. the best martial arts is who have respect and use it correctly.In my opinion the aikido is one of the best cuz just works for self-defense and never attack.
@Gamerforever1 yeah, you're right. These karate people in this video are clearly training to kill. And it also seems very cult like. O sensei, however, became uber religious and removed many "harsh" techniques. I still like aiki
@Gamerforever1 I would say that Aikido ain't one of the best. Mostly because you usually fight with Bokken and Bo-staffs. But the non-weapon techniques are truly amazing.
Erm some of this video is a little strange. "Karate is the mother of all martial arts." This is definitely not true. Nor is the claim that "to perfect your martial art it is neccessary to know Okinawa Karate."
@IEKUKATAKA I see. I was just thinking that the way it was phrased made it sound like it was necessary to know Karate to gain mastery in other martial arts. Anyway, I'll be sure to check out your account to learn more about Karate.
@charly345mstl No, Karate originally meant "China hand." The word "Kara" in Okinawa means China and "Te" was the name for Okinawan hand-to-hand combat. Gichin Funakoshi, the creator of Shotokan, is the one who changed the meaniing of the word Karate when he replaced the Okinawan word "Kara" with a Japanese character that looks different and has a different meaning, but sounds the same. "Kara" in Japanese means "empty," so Karate became "empty hand."
@charly345mstl That's okay. When Funakoshi came to Japan from Okinawa, he wanted to distance Karate from it's Chinese martial arts infulence and make it a uniquely Japanese martial art, so he changed the meaning of the word. 'Kara' in Japanese means "empty," while in Okinawan it means "China," but it sounded the same to keep the word 'Karate' intact. It's kinda like the way "Dear" sounds exactly like "Deer," but they have different spellings and meanings.
@charly345mstl Reading this aging post of yours, I just wanted to honor the attitude that is displayed by your comment. Humility, grace, and gratitude are yet too little seen in our world, and it's uplifting to have encountered those gifts from you here. Given all that Japan has experienced this year, I hope you are doing well.
In regards to one of the other posters comments that Karate is a form of brute strength , You are not correct. I real martial artist doesn't need much strength . Especially when using the other person's strengths and weaknesses against them. Most times comes down to who's thinking, not strength.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Martial Arts may be a form of brute strength, but in our Chinese Martial Arts system, it includes many ideals and philosophies in Martial Arts, which is also compassion to help others. This is what you Japanese will never understand because you use this strength and change it into brutal power to terrorize others, that is why you are not fit to learn Chinese Martial Arts. Ip Man
@wlaux9 sorry for my bad english, but u are saying bullshits. Karate is technique, speed, correct breath and callus. There is no best martial art, but best martial artists (fighters). Just because in karate there is callus and stength that doesn't means that hasn't technique. If you think that Karate is just strenght, so why we do Kata, Kihon and train ours to correct little details? Coz we need technique too. You don't know about karate technique, it's a very complex martial art.
@wlaux9 ...and don't be racist, please. Just because the old japanese government was violent it doesn't means that karate and japaneses are violent. The philosophy of Karate is very peaceful and inteligent.
@dowling1981 There are 4 main styles. Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, Wado-Ryu and Shito-Ryu. Those are the "roots". then we have loads of other styles like Wechi-Ryu and Shotokai etc etc etc. The world of Karate is really vast and that makes it unique :) There is no better or worse fighting styles. There are better and worse karatekas
@dowling1981 Hahahahaha XD The main purpose of karate is not to kick someones head in but the most "violent" style would be Shotokan. But if you really wanna be violent and kick heads you should do Tae-Kwon-Do XD
@kyuubifox66 OK, I didn't realise you had to be as selective amongst the different types of karate. Do any of the particular styles allow you to use a weapon when ambushing someone?
@dowling1981 I would say the human body but if youre not a martial artist you can get a shotgun and im sure the enemy will be down before he notices XD
@kyuubifox66 That would save time if you had the inclination. What karate weapon though would you use if you needed to correct someone once and for all?
@kyuubifox66 Original karate is from Okinawa and the principle source of authentic karate. The styles you named other than Goju are Japanese and may or may not be authentic in nature. Shotokan, without a doubt as practiced by the JKA, is a sport, not a martial art. See comments my account.
@IEKUKATAKA HOLY SHIT MAN REALLY :D? Can you tell me the tests youve done to get in plz? I wanna be a Marine when i finish school :D Its always been my dream :D
@kyuubifox66 Well, I can't answer that because you are not an American citizen. You need to contact the American consulate near you and they can tell you all you need to know. lots of luck.
@15BLJ You can say that, it is true. However, that being actual truth is another matter. Bayonet fighting is a martial art. Care to tell me how you can have a bayonet fighting tournament and it still continue to be bayonet fighting? Karate is the same. Yep, you can take Shotokan into reality, however, DO NOT EXPECT TO BE TERRIBLY PREPARED!! Sir, you speak exactly like one that knows little and I suspect it to be true.
@IEKUKATAKA Bayonet tournaments, in the same way you get knife fighting tournaments.
When your concerning the reality of taking something out of a dojo/gym/training hall, then the big factors in reality to bare in mind are those regarding situational awareness and emotional intensity. Outside of that, the mechanics in place are largely the same.
@outsidepers And you know this, how? If you are implying somehow that sport karate can be used effectively in the street you are simply full of prunes. I wish I understood your comment on bayonets and knives, but, I just can't seem to grasp it.
@IEKUKATAKA As a sport MAist, Traditional MAist, SD Maist and ex-Bouncer. I can attest to this.
Fact is sport is a GREAT asset in improving fighting abilties, (naturally for self defence you will need to add additional awareness skills etc into the mix)
Put it this way. Boxers don't have a track record for LOSING bar fights.
@outsidepers Boxers don't engage in a noncontact sport, they engage in a fighting sport that has rules of engagement. The sports karate I am referring to is the tournament karate that has no contact, limited areas of contact and other rules that minimize real experience in combat. The fact that that you are experienced means one thing: you, as an individual, are experienced and that experience adds little to the betterment of others. Sports karate sends a flawed and risky message, period.
@IEKUKATAKA Wait, so you ask for my credentials on the subject THEN motion that my credentials are irrelevant? Sorry I'm alittle confused by what your point is.
Anyway, from what I have seen there are contact karate styles and tournaments and from what I've seen and heard, they are quite common. Surely non-contact training is not something that can be generalised to all MA's that participate in competition?
@outsidepers I am speaking of tournament karate only, you added all other arts. Being common does not guarantee anything. "from what I have seen" implies you are not a karate-ka. I am, started in Japan 46 years ago. Tournament karate does not have the syllabus of a martial art. It focuses on very limited targets and the technique use has little to do with striking under duress and with disabling power. In the west, it has become sheer nonsense. Karate is a martial art. See #2
@IEKUKATAKA So wait, 1. are you denying that there are contact karate tournaments?
2. I agree with you, pure sport training has it's limits, but it has some great benefits. (using technique under pressure, hitting people at 100% and getting hit back, getting used to the idea of deliberatly setting out to seriously hurting someone and dealing with the fear of being seriously hurt yourself.
3. Even PURE training of an MA as an MA and not a sport, will carry across as mneumonic.
@outsidepers YES there are no full contact karate tournaments! If you believe they are then I know you have never been involved in real karate. I have NEVER seen good karate on TV in MMA or in any of that full contact nonsense. If it is full contact and no body is being maimed or killed it is either not full contact or it is not karate. Let's get something straight, karate is a martial art just as bayonet fighting is a martial art. It is not a game and can not be a competition. See #2
@IEKUKATAKA At our MMA gym we use Kyukoshin Kai as the basis of our stricking. And we produce fighters who are succesful.
And look up "Machida" in the MMA world. He proved that karate can work in MMA :)
There are knife fighting competitions, look for dog brothers. Competitions have been for centuries upon centuries in europe and in asia a way to test te skill of a warrior.
@outsidepers I am communication with a person who reads what he wants rather than what is written. I am communicating with a person that simply wants to be right rather than to hear and possibly learn. I have been communicating with a person that knows little of traditional karate therefore can not possibly grasp what is being said. I will go an extra mile in order to help another understand what they apparently can not. But, once a jackass is revealed, I am through, Sayonara bakka.
@outsidepers That is part of your problem, Budo is a Japanese system of martial arts, it did not exist in Okinawa and they certainly, as an independent nation, did not associate their cultural arts with those of an oppressive military nation. Ijo!!
@deadmike2 Not sure what you are referring to, but, if you assume karate-ka use judo kis, they don't. If you assume that the gi is Japanese, wrong again. However, if you would ask a simple descriptive question, maybe you would get a better answer. If you were trying to be provoking, whatever....................
@IEKUKATAKA Also karate and kobudo in Okinawa are part of budo
And then were the Sastuma to oppress the people of Okinawa, Japan before 1868, was a nation formed by the majority of farmers (80% of the population) and it was a peaceful nation,with the Meiji Restoration, Japan has followed the example of imperialism and colonial expansion of European,and became a militaristic nation,does not seem fair to blame an entire nation because of some military fanatics.
@IEKUKATAKA #2 I mean you can't exacly eye gouge or neck break with any real intent within the confines of a dojo.
I disagree with certain aspects of your elitism, but I can sympathise with your critisism of the western MA people and their lack of dedication and work ethic.
@outsidepers #2. Original karate was about serious self defense and it had a broad training base that ranged from close quarter striking to knowledge of where a human is hurt easily to how to move the body efficiently to power generation etc. Killing another was included as was throwing and ground techniques. I have taught tournament focused people after they wanted to learn the martial art. They were surprised at the difference and frustrated that they knew so little of self defense. See #3
@outsidepers #3. They were very frustrated at their inability to quickly change from an air punching base to learning how to punch with power under duress and many other considerations regarding a true martial focus. There are two points: 1. Karate is a martial art, not a sport even though many are taught differently in the west. 2. Learning tournament techniques and tactics means taking them into the street as it has become a mnemonic. Therefore, it sets up a liability in terms of defense.
@outsidepers #4. Watch this video, it says the same. These people are not preparing for a tournament and a trophy. They are preparing for combat and they are resolute and steeled. One teacher states "The rest is in contact with an opponent, I can not explain in words." I can not explain any further either. There is a wealth of information gained by being persistent, training and studying that is not conveyed easily. You either accept what I have said or you don't. Most never know what karate is.
@15BLJ I checked your profile after I posted my comment. I mean no maliciousness but in the 46 years I have been involved in traditional martial arts I have never warmed up to UK karate and believe it to be even more deluded than most. That being said, I wish you the best but don't expect the best from UK Shotokan, it is too stiff and too steeped in cultural adulteration.
@15BLJ If I may add, I have trained in shotokan for a number of years and my sensei thinks ,similar to yourself, that shotokan in general has become competition-based and for that reason my club has never gone to a competition as far as I know.
@15BLJ #1. Sure. Karate was developed in Okinawa by Okinawans in the Okinawan culture, their world, their mores, their lives influenced it including their size and frames. The Ieku is an Okinawan weapon because they were fishermen, the kama because they were farmers. Along came the Japanese, arrogant, nationalistic and culurally biased toward Okinawans, they thought their way better so they changed original karate greatly and still called it karate. That is adulteration by cultural differences.
@15BLJ #2. Americans, who could screw up an anvil, came along and further changed it to suit themselves because they are arrogant, egotistical and permeated with cheats and frauds. Look in the white house. The UK especially the English, arrogant, nationalistic, stiff and hierarchy oriented. A major focus is rank, an ego driven need and an impediment to learning all, but not all inclusive, corrupting influences.
@IEKUKATAKA #3. Karate has become shamefully defined by the west and those that developed it have largely taken a back seat while frauds corrupt it, use it for selfish gain and happily delude themselves about it as long as their egos are soothed or they can make the almighty dollar. Shameful, disgusting, probably illegal in cases and roaring right on like an out of control train. EXCEPT in the few that understand and want to practice it as it was, I am one after 46 years.
@yurikan200 I agree with you but one things. Karate is not peaceful. Yes it is very inteligent. Not barbaric, but traditional Karate is based on one ciritical punch for a kill.
@wlaux9 well, thats why we use weight classes in all martial arts, since strength and weight is a MAJOR factor.. Force = mass * speed, basic mathematics.. the myth about a small guy can take a big guy was made by a small guy trying to give other small guys hope.. ask any girl, size doesnt matter?
Karate is also my fighting style I'm only one away from black. I mostly have speed on my side. I agree with you drmark10 I heard jakie chan quote that before
bahahhaha, this martial arts is reidiculous its funny how ppl that make documentries are given a video or show a technique and they dont realise its either really shit and looks good or they are being fooled to make it look really good and make intense video;s ahah like that paper breaking thing, its bullshit people, all u have to do is flick u wrist forward and it creates tension on the paper which makes it rip please who ever made this, u are a fuck head
Rmurp61 you're funny... do you know anything about science? THERE IS NO TENSION... the paper hangs loose in the air... Have you ever seen and/or tried this?
-
So please... If you know nothing - just be silent, ok? :)
@Schmiddy666 Have you, NO! Look at the paper, it is tearing along a line more or less. Ask yourself why it is doing that rather than tearing at the clamp. The paper has been rendered brittle by some process. Is it a feat? It may be to some degree, but it is not what it seems. It is much like breaking a beer bottle at the neck with shuto. Can that be done in a clean break without altering the bottle? No.
@Rmurp61 tension is the force exerted when an object is pulled in two directions. I believe the force you are thinking of is shear. A little challenge- fold a piece of paper in half, open it and try to pull (not rip) it apart. It proves that paper is quite strong in tension.
Karate is great and amazing and i respect all martial arts, but at the end of this video she said it was the mother to all martial arts but it just isn't kung fu is. Karate is a mix of Chinese kung fu and there native martial art from Okinawa called Tay. I don't know how to spell it but thats how its pronounced.
Actually, technically necessity is the mother of all martial arts. Through the need of people and groups to defend themselves, the group creates a codified system of combat/self defense ( martial art). This has occured throughout history and spans the globe among groups that have never encountered each other. Again technically, the term kung fu is not a type of martail art but an adjective to descibe ones effort toward mastery.
@ilikewhereilive *bow* To attempt to clarify. The term "martial art" is an umbrella term that encompasses codified fighting systems across the world. The chinese did not invent the martial arts but they did create many styles that fall under the umbrella term of martial art like ( Wing Chung etc...). The term Kung Fu is used to describe a person's effort toward mastrey of a style or art and can be applied to other non fighting arts ( food, painting etc..) Kung Fu is not a martial art.
@ilikewhereilive Okinawa did not invent the martial arts but they did create the term Karate that falls under the umbrella of martial arts and is traced directly to Okinawa. Under the term Karate there are many Okinawan styles. It is accurate to say that Okinawa was the birth place of karate.
@ilikewhereilive Okinawa being located between, and used as, a trading port between China and Japan lends common sense that the martial arts the group developed out of necessity would have influence from these cultures. Before the truly okinawan "birth" of the term karate many okinawan called their art -Te. It can be said acurately that the term Karate was born in Okinawa. Okinawa is the birth place of karate. Necessity is the mother of martial arts.
tay is spelled just like it is in karate. kara means empty and te means hand. karate - empty hand. just thought i help you out cuz thats how i use to spell it too lol.
None of you know anything and you argue like chirping birds. Capcom invented Karate and spread it throughout the world through the Street Fighter series
Then Muay Thai came along and "Pure Karate" wet it's pants...

"A human body becomes the ultimate destructive weapon" Karate is not violence. Martial arts teach self-defense, but must be a path to peace.
Also, they pronounced the word wrong and, even with the kanji in front of them, still spelled the Romaji wrong. 空手 － からて － "karate".
空(から) "kara" means "empty" and 手(て) "te" (read "te", not "ti") means "hand".
Still, nice presentation. I was surprised to see a lot of crane hand and push hands in this clip. That's generally for Chinese Crane and Tai Chi.

Karate originally means "Hand with no weapons".
charly345mstl 1 year ago 2
@charly345mstl No, Karate originally meant "China hand." The word "Kara" in Okinawa means China and "Te" was the name for Okinawan hand-to-hand combat. Gichin Funakoshi, the creator of Shotokan, is the one who changed the meaniing of the word Karate when he replaced the Okinawan word "Kara" with a Japanese character that looks different and has a different meaning, but sounds the same. "Kara" in Japanese means "empty," so Karate became "empty hand."

@44excalibur You probably have much more knowledge than me,though I`m Japanese. I read some about karate at books,so I got the wrong knowledge.
Thank you.
charly345mstl 1 year ago
@charly345mstl That's okay. When Funakoshi came to Japan from Okinawa, he wanted to distance Karate from it's Chinese martial arts infulence and make it a uniquely Japanese martial art, so he changed the meaning of the word. 'Kara' in Japanese means "empty," while in Okinawan it means "China," but it sounded the same to keep the word 'Karate' intact. It's kinda like the way "Dear" sounds exactly like "Deer," but they have different spellings and meanings.

Martial Arts may be a form of brute strength, but in our Chinese Martial Arts system, it includes many ideals and philosophies in Martial Arts, which is also compassion to help others. This is what you Japanese will never understand because you use this strength and change it into brutal power to terrorize others, that is why you are not fit to learn Chinese Martial Arts. Ip Man

@wlaux9 sorry for my bad english, but u are saying bullshits. Karate is technique, speed, correct breath and callus. There is no best martial art, but best martial artists (fighters). Just because in karate there is callus and stength that doesn't means that hasn't technique. If you think that Karate is just strenght, so why we do Kata, Kihon and train ours to correct little details? Coz we need technique too. You don't know about karate technique, it's a very complex martial art.

@IEKUKATAKA Bayonet tournaments, in the same way you get knife fighting tournaments.
When your concerning the reality of taking something out of a dojo/gym/training hall, then the big factors in reality to bare in mind are those regarding situational awareness and emotional intensity. Outside of that, the mechanics in place are largely the same.

Put it this way. Boxers don't have a track record for LOSING bar fights.
outsidepers 1 year ago
@outsidepers Boxers don't engage in a noncontact sport, they engage in a fighting sport that has rules of engagement. The sports karate I am referring to is the tournament karate that has no contact, limited areas of contact and other rules that minimize real experience in combat. The fact that that you are experienced means one thing: you, as an individual, are experienced and that experience adds little to the betterment of others. Sports karate sends a flawed and risky message, period.
IEKUKATAKA 1 year ago
@IEKUKATAKA Wait, so you ask for my credentials on the subject THEN motion that my credentials are irrelevant? Sorry I'm alittle confused by what your point is.
Anyway, from what I have seen there are contact karate styles and tournaments and from what I've seen and heard, they are quite common. Surely non-contact training is not something that can be generalised to all MA's that participate in competition?
outsidepers 1 year ago
@outsidepers I am speaking of tournament karate only, you added all other arts. Being common does not guarantee anything. "from what I have seen" implies you are not a karate-ka. I am, started in Japan 46 years ago. Tournament karate does not have the syllabus of a martial art. It focuses on very limited targets and the technique use has little to do with striking under duress and with disabling power. In the west, it has become sheer nonsense. Karate is a martial art. See #2
IEKUKATAKA 1 year ago
@IEKUKATAKA So wait, 1. are you denying that there are contact karate tournaments?
2. I agree with you, pure sport training has it's limits, but it has some great benefits. (using technique under pressure, hitting people at 100% and getting hit back, getting used to the idea of deliberatly setting out to seriously hurting someone and dealing with the fear of being seriously hurt yourself.
3. Even PURE training of an MA as an MA and not a sport, will carry across as mneumonic.
outsidepers 1 year ago
@outsidepers YES there are no full contact karate tournaments! If you believe they are then I know you have never been involved in real karate. I have NEVER seen good karate on TV in MMA or in any of that full contact nonsense. If it is full contact and no body is being maimed or killed it is either not full contact or it is not karate. Let's get something straight, karate is a martial art just as bayonet fighting is a martial art. It is not a game and can not be a competition. See #2

outsidepers 1 year ago
@outsidepers #2. Original karate was about serious self defense and it had a broad training base that ranged from close quarter striking to knowledge of where a human is hurt easily to how to move the body efficiently to power generation etc. Killing another was included as was throwing and ground techniques. I have taught tournament focused people after they wanted to learn the martial art. They were surprised at the difference and frustrated that they knew so little of self defense. See #3
IEKUKATAKA 1 year ago
@outsidepers #3. They were very frustrated at their inability to quickly change from an air punching base to learning how to punch with power under duress and many other considerations regarding a true martial focus. There are two points: 1. Karate is a martial art, not a sport even though many are taught differently in the west. 2. Learning tournament techniques and tactics means taking them into the street as it has become a mnemonic. Therefore, it sets up a liability in terms of defense.
IEKUKATAKA 1 year ago
@outsidepers #4. Watch this video, it says the same. These people are not preparing for a tournament and a trophy. They are preparing for combat and they are resolute and steeled. One teacher states "The rest is in contact with an opponent, I can not explain in words." I can not explain any further either. There is a wealth of information gained by being persistent, training and studying that is not conveyed easily. You either accept what I have said or you don't. Most never know what karate is.

@15BLJ If I may add, I have trained in shotokan for a number of years and my sensei thinks ,similar to yourself, that shotokan in general has become competition-based and for that reason my club has never gone to a competition as far as I know.
15BLJ 1 year ago
@15BLJ #1. Sure. Karate was developed in Okinawa by Okinawans in the Okinawan culture, their world, their mores, their lives influenced it including their size and frames. The Ieku is an Okinawan weapon because they were fishermen, the kama because they were farmers. Along came the Japanese, arrogant, nationalistic and culurally biased toward Okinawans, they thought their way better so they changed original karate greatly and still called it karate. That is adulteration by cultural differences.

ilikewhereilive 2 years ago
@ilikewhereilive
Actually, technically necessity is the mother of all martial arts. Through the need of people and groups to defend themselves, the group creates a codified system of combat/self defense ( martial art). This has occured throughout history and spans the globe among groups that have never encountered each other. Again technically, the term kung fu is not a type of martail art but an adjective to descibe ones effort toward mastery.
drmark10 2 years ago 2
Ok I have to admit i don't totally understand what your saying and i probably should have said Gung fu rather than kung fu. *bow*
ilikewhereilive 2 years ago
@ilikewhereilive *bow* To attempt to clarify. The term "martial art" is an umbrella term that encompasses codified fighting systems across the world. The chinese did not invent the martial arts but they did create many styles that fall under the umbrella term of martial art like ( Wing Chung etc...). The term Kung Fu is used to describe a person's effort toward mastrey of a style or art and can be applied to other non fighting arts ( food, painting etc..) Kung Fu is not a martial art.
drmark10 2 years ago
@ilikewhereilive Okinawa did not invent the martial arts but they did create the term Karate that falls under the umbrella of martial arts and is traced directly to Okinawa. Under the term Karate there are many Okinawan styles. It is accurate to say that Okinawa was the birth place of karate.
drmark10 2 years ago 4
@ilikewhereilive Okinawa being located between, and used as, a trading port between China and Japan lends common sense that the martial arts the group developed out of necessity would have influence from these cultures. Before the truly okinawan "birth" of the term karate many okinawan called their art -Te. It can be said acurately that the term Karate was born in Okinawa. Okinawa is the birth place of karate. Necessity is the mother of martial arts.
