It has been often stated that Choki Motobu, as third son of a high-ranking family, did not receive the same level of education as his brothers, and did not learn his family's art of Udunde, as this was pasted on to the oldest son only.
Motobu was also very agile and quick and he got the nickname "Motobu-saru" (Monkey Motobu), not because of his rough behavior, but because of his remarkable agility in climbing trees and moving from branch to branch as nimbly as a monkey.
He is the president of the Nihon Karate-do Motobukai and the head of the Motobu-Ryu Daidokan, the dojo (school) established by Choki Motobu., and is continued to be taught by him today.

Choki Motobu, however, never sought out such patrons, and in fact, according to Hironori Ohtsuka he was quite a solitary man. This agrees with the view of Konishi, who was quite close to Motobu for several years and never once saw him in an actual fight.
