Okinawa is widely considered the crucible of modern karate. It is the largest island between China and Japan, where Chinese trading ships would stop en route to the ports of Japan. The ancient arts spread to Okinawa this way. Over generations the people of the island further developed what we recognise today as karate. This history of karate is a huge source of cultural pride among the Okinawan People. So much so some Karate masters on the island have been formally recognised as national treasures.
