According to official historical sources, Karate began with Sokkon Matsmurua, in the early 19th century. However, since alternative views should be presented if only for good manners, Okinawan tradition holds that Karate in fact began in the 300's A.D. following a catastrophic civil war. In other words the martial art may be much older.
