The Untold History of Karate | Unveiling the Okinawa Karate Martial Art's Evolution

[@geocubano]

You are so far off . Okinawa was a Tributary to China for hundreds of years and there was a Chinese village where diplomats , soilders/bodyguards and their familys stayed. This fusion between Ti (or what the japanese call te) and Kungfu was the birth of Toudi/Udundi the Okinawan words for the Martial arts

[@Lofandpeas]

It is not after karate spread that different styles got developed. Many of the styles origin from Okinawa. In Okinawa there were different karate masters. They were called to main land Japan to demonstrate their craft. It was there that the Okinawan masters were asked to give their craft a name so that it could be considered a "specific style". Of course there are also relatively newer styles like Kyokushin, which were developed a bit later. But many of the currently present styles are directly based on the various Okinawan karate masters. Also the fact that karate relied on bare hands and feet in Okinawa is not true. Actually Okinawan karate masters were using weapons, that's 100% certain. Another fun fact, but not specifically discussed in this video: karate originally did not include many fancy kicks. That was actually added later, most probably with influences from French Savate :) Btw, many of the shots shown in the video do not directly steem to be karate clips.

GOJO-RIYU is an Okinawan style, not a Japanese style and it came before Te (later styles renamed it Karate). One more thing, even Gojo-Riyu came from Chinese origins.

Highly appreciated for your correction

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

Goju Ryu went to Japan and was altered. It was named Goju Kai. So them Goju Ryu can be considered Japanese

There's actually no strong evidence that suggests Karate came from China. Sure it has certain similarities with certain styles in China, but overall I'd say there're more differences than similarities. At most we could say it was inspired or influenced by certain Chinese styles, but we can't say it outright originated from China, that's just wrong.

[@XRos28]

@@weifan9533 The similarities ARE evidence, two things can't be so similar if one did not come from the other, I'd say...

[@weifan9533]

@@XRos28 Similarities can also be coincidence, since all humans have two eyes two arms and two legs and all have roughly similar cognitive and physical capabilities, hence similar styles can arise even between two different populations. What I'm trying to say is that Japanese deserve more credit for creating their martial art styles. Not everything came from China.
