History of Karate and Masters
The word karate is a combination of two letters : Kara, meaning empty, and te, meaning hand; thus, karate means
"empty hand." and "-do" means "the way/path," karate-do, implies karate as a total way of life that goes well beyond the self-defense applications. In traditional karate-do, one is supposed to compete and strive to excel against him/her self. Karate is a Japanese martial art whose physical aspects seek the development of defensive and counter attacking body movements, self-defense, though its mental and moral aspects target the overall improvement of the individual. If karate had to be described in only one sentence, then the most suitable one may arguably be "You never attack first in karate." This is a maxim of Gichin Funakoshi (1868-1957), the Okinawan who brought karate to Japan in 1922, and who is accepted as the father of modern karate. Today there are four main styles of karate in world: Shotokan, Goju-ryu, Shito-ryu, and Wado-ryu. Shotokan style karate was founded by Master Gichin Funakoshi.
