Who was the original instructor of karate?

Answer 1

There is no one original instructor. Karate was created by many instructors in the 1800s in Okinawa. It developed further after learning from china, mainly fuchou - Taiwan. Then became karate. There are many groups or types, for example, in the 1800s there was nahate, tomarite and shurite. Nahate was created by kanryo higaonna and later into gojuryu by chosen miyagi and many splinter groups in Japan and Okinawa. Japan and Okinawa does it differently. Karate means empty hand in Japanese. Tang soo do and tae Kwon do is Korean and it is not karate. They used more feet than hand.
