    KARATE ORIGINATED -

    • Shotokan Karate was founded by Grandmaster Gichin Funakoshi


    who studied Te under Grandmaster Itosu and Grandmaster
    Higaonna in Okinawa, Japan. Back then, Karate was called Te
    (hand), and different types of Te were studied in various areas of
    Okinawa. Like most martial arts, Shotokan karate has its roots in
    ancient China, from where it was brought to Okinawa, then to
    Japan, and then to the rest of the world. Our art is usually classified
    as "hard," complementary to "soft" circular martial arts such as
    Aikido and Tai Chi Chuan.
