	Karate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Karate is a mixture of indigenous Okinawan fighting arts and empty-handed Chinese fighting arts, the latter having been brought to Okinawa by political envoys, merchants, and sailors to and from Fujian Province.
		Many recognizeable offshoots of Karate, particularly in Korea, deny the name because of nationalistic ideals and the word's association with Japan; likewise, some obvious offshoots of Karate are disowned by Japanese practitioners, perhaps because of a Japanese preoccupation with primacy or purity.
		Karate was introduced into Japanese high schools before World War II, as it had been to Okinawan schools at the beginning of the century.

	EJMAS reviews page.
		Karate was a fairly obscure activity in 1971 and the training, even for someone as young as he, was a far cry from the child-friendly martial arts classes offered today.
		The reason is that the natural audience for this book is karate enthusiasts and, somewhat naturally, the parts that are well written and engaging are those that deal with what Bustillo clearly loves: his karate training.
		Finally, the style and organization suggests that the text was originally designed to be used by high school students preparing for standardized promotion exams rather than serious researchers.
