Bushido Karate Adventure
A journey from Okinawa
Karate developed over a long period in Okinawa, an island chain in the south of Japan. People there practised fighting methods for self-defence and exchanged ideas with visitors and traders. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, teachers began sharing karate more widely in Japan. Karate later spread to many countries. Today, people practise it for fitness, skill and learning discipline. Bushidō is often translated as “the way of the warrior”. It is a set of ideas about how a warrior should behave, including courage, honesty, respect and self-control. It is not a karate technique, and people may understand or practise these values in different ways.
