If someone unexpectedly attacks you, what do you want to do:
- Tap him out
- Punch him out
- Knock him out
- Defend yourself and escape as quickly as possible.
What is your objective?

"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.

The spirit of Karate is the Aloha spirit.
