If you click on each page of the slideshow, you will be taken to very large images of this historic article about Choki Motobu. There is also a translation of the article. What an excellent presentation!

"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.
