Shorinryu karate originated in Okinawa.
Shuri is the town that Shorinryu was originally based around.
{| |- | There are many different styles. The three major divisions are Okinawa, Japanese and Korean. They all started in Okinawa. Shorinryu is one major division, Goju Ryu is another. Shidokan is a popular Japanese style. And Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do are two Korean styles. |}
In my experience, I found Tae Kwon Do to be a more advanced and proper martial art than Karate.

Karate came to Japan about 90 years ago. It was adapted by many as a martial art and a way of life, similar to that found in the other martial arts. Japan in turn influenced Karate by creating the ranking system and uniforms that are used.
Karate could be found in the US as early as 1932, when it was demonstrated in Hawaii. It was pretty much found being taught to other Okinawan immigrants. It really came to popularity after World War 2 when GIs started bringing it back from Asia.
Pretty much all the throws, arm locks and head locks (which turn out to be arm and head breaks) are found in Jujutsu. The strikes such as kicks, punches and elbow strikes are from various karate styles (which may also encorporate some of the throws like the style of karate I do called shotokan, which use some throws). The various blocks are found in both karate and jujutsu, but mainly karate. Wesley Snipes is a 5th dan in Shotokan karate along with other Martial Arts, which is why he looks so confident performing moves that take years of practise to master.
There is more than one person who created the original karate. It evolved over centuries. Now there have been more different styles of karate made by different people. Here are some of the key teachers: -Sakukawa Kanga -Matsumura Sokon -Itosu Anko -Arakaki Seisho -Higaonna Kanryo -Gichin Funakoshi -Motobu Choki Karate was originally called To De (Chinese hand) and was developed by several masters in the course of time. No specific person invented it but it was invented for self defense.
