Karate (空手)is a martial art developed in the in what is now Okinawa, Japan. It was developed from indigenous fighting methods called te (手, literally "hand"; Tii in Okinawan) and Chinese kenpō.Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles.A karate practitioner is called a karateka (空手家).
Karate was developed in the Ryukyu Kingdom prior to its 19th-century annexation by Japan. It was brought to the Japanese mainland in the early 20th century during a time of cultural exchanges between the Japanese and the Ryukyuans. In 1922 the Japanese Ministry of Education invited Gichin Funakoshi to Tokyo to give a karate demonstration. In 1924 Keio University established the first university karate club in Japan and by 1932, major Japanese universities had karate clubs.In this era of escalating Japanese militarism,the name was changed from 唐手 ("Chinese hand") to 空手 ("empty hand") – both of which are pronounced karate – to indicate that the Japanese wished to develop the combat form in Japanese style.After the Second World War, Okinawa became an important United States military site and karate became popular among servicemen stationed there.

Kali was the etymological connection (Hubud = Entangle. Tegumi/Kumite = Entangle Hands). It would be interesting to find out if the same terminology is used in other traditional Southeast Asian martial arts.

1. Martial arts are no longer all that different, they have a LOT of comparable shit purpose people have two legs, two fingers and that is about it.
2. People had been enhanced lower back then for apparent reasons.
3. "Martial arts" lower back then had been definitely awesome superb purpose if you are no longer high-quality - you die.
MMA as a activity differs from the methods lower back then reason it is a rule based totally sport. So naturally you will see some matters you might not be capable to see otherwise.
But Karate, Kali, all that shit is simply branded fighting. It's simply advertising and marketing for some thing that has been existing in nearly all international locations for the duration of history.
