Karate Origins in India

Hi, I read your note on the karate discussion page. From my understanding, the philosophies of karate may have stemmed from India, but karate is a description of how those philosophies are physically manifested and used to perfect ones character.

Bodhidharma ventured to China in the 500's A.D. where he found the Shaolin monks needing more discipline. They had already been training in Kung fu, but their attitude was lacking. Bodhidharma taught them how to incorporate his teachings (including discipline) into their kung fu, and over many generations, they mastered it.

This mastery of kung fu trickled down to other arts like Chuan_fa and eventually to Okinawan martial arts. Chatan Yara down to Sokon Matsumura trained in the chinese arts and developed a way to employ empty-handed combat from the teachings of kung fu.

So the philosophies come from India, way back. But karate's embodiment is attributed to Okinawa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drmadskills (talk • contribs) 20:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
