Karate originated on Okinawa. It was taken to Japan in the 1930's.
Sort of, the first people to use the word were the Okinawans. They are now a part of Japan, but in the past were an independent kingdom with their own language.
Karate was created in Okinawa. It was brought to Australia by the Japanese and Okinawans. While there were certainly practitioners there a long time ago, it was probably in the 1930's that it was first brought to the country.
Varios incaders forbade them from having weapons. Hope this helps
Okinawans developed karate as a means of self-defense and martial training, largely influenced by their historical context of invasions and foreign occupation. The blending of indigenous fighting styles with Chinese martial arts, particularly during the Ryukyu Kingdom period, played a significant role in its evolution. Karate also served as a way to promote physical fitness, discipline, and cultural identity among the Okinawan people. Over time, it transformed into a respected martial art practiced worldwide.
In general, yes. Some very traditional Okinawans might disagree, however.
Okinawans developed karate as a means of self-defense and personal empowerment in response to a long history of foreign invasions and cultural influences, particularly from China. The martial art incorporated native fighting techniques and was influenced by Chinese martial arts, leading to a unique style that emphasized striking, grappling, and self-discipline. Additionally, the practice of karate became a way to preserve Okinawan culture and identity, especially during periods of external domination. Over time, it evolved into a respected form of physical fitness and a philosophy of self-improvement.
I dont now why you ask me?
Okinawans often have a complex relationship with the Japanese identity due to their unique cultural heritage and history. While many Okinawans identify as Japanese, they also take pride in their distinct traditions, language, and customs that set them apart from mainland Japan. Some Okinawans express feelings of marginalization or a lack of recognition from the Japanese government, particularly regarding issues like historical events and military presence. Overall, their views can vary widely, reflecting a mix of pride in their identity and a desire for greater acknowledgment within the broader Japanese context.
Technically it was the Okinawans. The name karate did not come about until the turn of the century (late 1800s, early 1900s). Before that it was simply called "te", meaning hand. Some referred to their particular art by locality, such as Naha-te was practiced in the region surrounding Naha, Okinawa, etc. The Chinese did indeed practice a martial art, gung fu (kung fu) among others, but while it had an influence on the Okinawan styles, it is considered by most martial arts historians as a separate art.
