Itosu Ankō - He is denoted as the godfather of karate.

Sensei Gichin Funakoshi - He is the founder of Shotokan and is considered as the father of modern karate.

Higaonna Kanryō

Really good teachers can trace their lineage back to Matsumura, who taught Itosu.

my favorite types of karate are shotokan, and the way shotokan works is pretty much one hit you win, and another is go ju ru, and that one is a lot of holds that break arms and throw people down without much effort. for me, #1 is go ju ru. im not that big or strong, so it works.

There is no best type of karate. Each style has has its own merits and demerits, but they all aim to achieve the common goal of self-defense. It is the player that makes the style best. If you are good in practicing then every type of karate is good for you.

If you are asking this question as a suggestion of which style to join then I would say that it would be best bet to join some popular style like shotokan, shito-ryo, goju-ryu, wado-ryu, kyokushin, etc. But a lot depend on school/dojo too, so take demo classes and join what you like.

The best style of karate will be the one that fits you, your goals and your lifestyle. Different styles focus on different aspects of the martial art. Some are based on competition, with trophies for kata and fighting. Others are designed to provide hard core self defense training and don't play games. And the full spectrum in between the two. Find the school and teacher that fits you and what you want.

The one that you like. It is hard to learn a martial art if you do not enjoy it. The other thing to evaluate is what you want from it.

Some questions to ask yourself:

  • Do I want a traditional martial art?
  • Am I going to compete in the ring?
  • Do I want to compete in tournaments?

Since "best" would be considered a opinion, their is no best. Pick who you think is the best at karate, because your opinion should be yours, and not somebody else's.
