Karate is VERY different in Japan and Okinawa.

In this video you'll learn 10 reasons - including Kobudo, bunkai, hojo undo (strength training) and self-defense. These are things I discovered at the birthplace of Karate.

Regardless of your style, it's important to know the history and evolution of martial arts. Especially Karate, which came from China and made it all the way to the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

"Those who don't learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it..."

Enjoy!
