Okinawan |
 |
- It is said that the
traditional Okinawan martial arts called Te
and Chinese Kenpo were blended together and
developed into karate. Karate later
underwent significant developments in
Okinawa based on several factors, including
the policy of banning weapons following the
political centralization of King Shoshin
(1477-1526) and the Satsuma Clan's invasion
of Ryukyu (1609).
