UKKA martial arts history

Legendary Karate Masters of the Last 200 Years: Their Contributions and Legacies

Karate is a martial art that originated in Okinawa, Japan, in the early 20th century. Since then, it has spread throughout the world and has become one of the most popular forms of martial arts in existence. The development of karate has been influenced by many great masters over the years, and in this blog post, we will take a look at some of the most prominent karate masters of the last 200 years.

Chojun Miyagi (1888-1953)
Chojun Miyagi was the founder of Goju-ryu karate, one of the four main styles of karate. He studied under Kanryo Higaonna, who had introduced Naha-te (a precursor to Goju-ryu) to Okinawa. Miyagi blended traditional Okinawan karate with Chinese martial arts to create his own style. He was known for his focus on breathing and meditation, and he believed that the physical and mental aspects of karate were equally important.

Gichin Funakoshi (1868-1957)
Gichin Funakoshi is known as the father of modern karate. He was the founder of Shotokan karate, which is one of the most popular styles of karate in the world. Funakoshi introduced karate to mainland Japan in the early 20th century, and his teachings helped to spread karate throughout the world. He emphasized the importance of kata (formal exercises) in karate training, and he believed that karate was not just a physical practice, but also a way of life.

Kenwa Mabuni (1889-1952)
Kenwa Mabuni was the founder of Sh*to-ryu karate, which is a blend of the Naha-te and Shuri-te styles of karate. Mabuni was a student of both Chojun Miyagi and Kanryo Higaonna, and he was also trained in the Shuri-te style by Choshin Chibana. He blended the techniques and philosophies of these three masters to create his own style of karate. Mabuni was known for his emphasis on practical self-defense techniques and his belief in the importance of physical conditioning.

Choshin Chibana (1885-1969)
Choshin Chibana was the founder of Kobayashi-ryu karate, which is a blend of the Shuri-te and Tomari-te styles of karate. Chibana was a student of Ankō Itosu, who was one of the founders of modern karate. Chibana also studied under Kanryo Higaonna, and he blended the techniques of these two masters to create his own style of karate. He was known for his emphasis on sp*ed and power in his techniques.

Hironori Otsuka (1892-1982)
Hironori Otsuka was the founder of Wado-ryu karate, which is a blend of karate and jujutsu. Otsuka was a student of Gichin Funakoshi, and he also studied jujutsu under various masters. He blended the techniques of karate and jujutsu to create his own style of martial art. Otsuka was known for his emphasis on sp*ed and fluidity in his movements, and he believed that karate should be a form of self-expression.

Masutatsu Oyama (1923-1994)
Masutatsu Oyama was the founder of Kyokushin karate, which is a style of full-contact karate. Oyama was a student of Gichin Funakoshi, and he also trained in judo and kendo. He believed that traditional karate had become too soft and had lost its effectiveness as a fighting art, so he created his own style of karate that focused on full-contact sparring and physical conditioning. Oyama was known for his incredible strength and endurance, and he became famous for his demonstrations of breaking rocks and other objects with his bare hands.

Choki Motobu (1870-1944)
Choki Motobu was a master of Shuri-te karate and was known for his aggressive fighting style. He was also trained in Okinawan kobudo (weapons) and was skilled in the use of the sai, nunchaku, and other traditional Okinawan weapons. Motobu was known for his street fighting experience, and he believed that the techniques taught in traditional karate schools were not effective in real-world situations. He advocated for a more practical approach to self-defense, and his teachings were influential in the development of modern self-defense systems.

These are just a few of the many great karate masters who have influenced the development of this martial art over the last 200 years. Each of these masters had their own unique style and philosophy, and their teachings continue to inspire and influence martial artists around the world. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, studying the teachings of these great masters can help you to deepen your understanding of karate and its place in the world of martial arts.

UKKA history and remembrance
We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of martial arts legend, Sensei Fumio Demura yesterday. He was a original member of the brotherhood and attended the backyard gatherings hosted by grandmaster Pierre Bergere Fred Brewster and Tony Sartor at our home in garden grove and a life long friend to GM Brewster he was a true master and leader a beautiful spirit your ohana honors you
rest well
Aloha

In the film industry, Fumio Demura was best known as Pat Morita's stunt double in the Karate Kid films, where his expertise was key to bringing the character of Mr. Miyagi to life. In the martial arts world, however, he was known for so much more. Sensei Demura was a well-established figure in Japanese karate; but his desire to spread the art extended beyond one country. In 1965, he moved to America and became one of the first true teachers in the United States of Sh*to-Ryu karate, as well as Okinawan kobudo. He taught and inspired thousands of students and served as a model of what a martial artist should strive to be, in training and in life.

Rest in Peace Sensei Fumio Demura. Your legacy will continue to live on.
