[QUOTE=Kail;84550]Samual you might want to check out “Weaponless Warrior{S}” by Richard Kim, it acknowledges the connection between Chinese and Okinawan martial arts. The general idea was that Te existed independantly on Okinawa and was practiced by the nobility{when could a farmer find time to train anyway?}. The transmition was usually from father to oldest son, wit the other male children having to fend for themselves as far as any form of education or training went. The most talented fighters might gain apprenticeship with a more senior and renowned instructor for a good number of years and then be sent to China to study for a time. The time in China was for refinement and expansion of technique. This connection was recognized readily by the older masters, and the kanji used for “karate” originally translated as “China Hand” and not “empty hand.” The descision to change the kanji came about during the late 1920s, or early 30s when a group of senior karate instructors gathered to formalize and organize the fighting arts on the island. There was some dispute over the change from “China” to “empty” hand, but “empty” won out in the end. My personal interpretation of what went on was that with Funikoshi teaching in the main land by the 20s, the preasure was on to export more karate to Japan. The Japanese were not about to take readily to anything that was attributed to the Chinese so heavily as Tode/karate, and if the senior instructors were to have any real influence over what was going to be passed on, they had to take steps to ensure that they could make it appeal to the Japanese. That and I think Funikoshi may have already been making some of these changes, and in order to present a united front and look like they were dictating the sylibus, they agreed to the changes.
Another source to support the Chinese connection.
“As to the origins of Karate, there are many theories, however I am inclined to believe that this art was taught by Chinese men since there were many contacts made between Ryu Kyu and China from ancient days.”, Choki Motobu, “Okinawan Kempo”, pg.25, para-5.
And, though it may account for very little, similarities in movements between the Nahanchi katas and the White Crane Kung Fu system are very strong, with almost identical sets of hand sequences in several places. This learned after a compairison between myself and a kung fu practicioner when we traded a few techniques.
