I often meet Karate students and teachers who have read articles I have written for Classical Fighting Arts (formerly Dragon Times), the Uchinadi Journal (formerly Koryu Journal), Furyu: The Budo Journal, or other periodicals.
Sometimes they look so disappointed. I think they thought I would be much taller!

"Karate Jutsu" means "China Hand art". Karate came to Okinawa from China. Only in the 1930s or so, was the term "Karate" changed to mean "Empty Hand". "China Hand" was used in Hawaii until after World War II, and is still used in some dojo.
For more information, please visit the Hawaii Karate Seinenkai website.
The spirit of Karate is the Aloha spirit.
