Karate originated as a martial art thousands of years ago and was brought to Japan from China, Taiwan and Okinawa. Many of the famous Karate-ka, or Bushi, as they were known in Okinawa, experimented and developed their skills in such provinces as Shuri, Naha and Tomari. But unlike Judo and Kendo, Karate was a secret art, unknown to the general public. There was no fixed system until approximately 1907, when Yasutsune Itosu of Shuri and Kanryo Higaonna of Naha -- both of whom are regarded today as two of the most influential teachers of Okinawan Karate -- gained a good following for both of their own special styles. delhi karate classes Karate originated as a martial art thousands of years ago and was brought to Japan from China, Taiwan and Okinawa.

Kenwa Mabuni, who had studied under both Master Yasutsune Itosu and Master Kanryo Higaonna, devised the Shito-Ryu system. Born in 1889, Mabuni was the 17th generation son of a famous samurai named Onigusuki. Mabuni was keenly aware of the accomplishments of his brave ancestors and, wanting to overcome poor health, began intensive karate training at the age of 13. He also studied weapon techniques of the Bo, Sai,Tonfa, Kama, and Nunchaku.
