It is hard to believe, but this is the 906th post of this blog.
Thank you very much to all the readers, around the world, and to all the excellent guest writers. I appreciate all the kind words of support I have received.
I feel very fortunate to be able to learn, teach, and write about the noble art of Karate.
Respectfully,
Charles C. Goodin
"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.
