A Brief History Of Karate
by Tokey Hill and Bill FitzPatrick
T he story of the martial arts begins early in the 6th century with the visit of the Indian Prince Bodhidharma to the Shaolin Temple in northern China. Bodhidharma wanted to help the Shaolin monks find enlightenment. His message was that God came from within and not from outside. He suggested that the monks mediate in a sedentary position for many hours to find inner enlightenment. At first, the monks rejected the foreigner but Bodhidharma was determined. He went alone to a mountain cave where he remained for nine years meditating with a fervor so intent that his penetrating gaze burned two holes through the walls of the cave.
Impressed with his will power and persistence, the monks accept Bodhidharma as their teacher and so began the practice of Zen Buddhism in China. However, there was one negative side effect to the long hours of meditation. Although the monks were becoming spiritually strong, they were becoming physically weak. To keep the monks healthy, Bodhidharma began to teach them a system, Chi Kung , which is based on Indian yoga.

Shindo Jinen-ryu Karate-do
History and Tradition of Budo
by Akihiro Omi "It is doubtful whether the Japanese people and the country as a whole can really be understood or appreciated by anyone without a degree of knowledge of their martial culture." (Donn F. Draeger, Classical Bujutsu. New York: Weatherhill, Inc., 1973)
Introduction
Shindo Jinen-ryu, established in 1933 by Yasuhiro Konishi (1893-1983), is deeply rooted in a rich tradition of Japanese warrior culture. To understand the tradition and the philosophies that this style of karate-do represents, we must first visit the origin of budo and trace the path on which it was formed.
1. The Birth of Japan
The land around the current Japanese islands was formed about 70 million years ago. According to archaeologists, humans lived on the land as early as 2.5 million years ago. During the last ice age (50,000 to 10,000 years ago), a massive movement of the earth separated the land from the Eurasian Continent, and the Japanese islands were formed. This geographical isolation from the continent provided the Japanese with protection and the opportunity to develop their own unique culture.
From 10,000 B.C through 300 B.C., the prehistoric peoples of Japan followed a hunting and gathering way of life. Collective farming began around 300 B.C., triggering the development of irrigation systems and iron-edged tools which increased harvests, in turn stimulating a massive population explosion. As social hierarchies and political structures developed, competition and warfare between villages intensified. Bronze and iron weapons were initially obtained from the continent, but soon the Japanese were making their own weapons such as swords, pikes, and spears. However, many of these early Japanese-made weapons were not practical; they were used for religious ceremonies and rituals, indicating a relatively peaceful island nation during its early years.

    History of Taekwondo T It is an unfortunate reality that martial arts are often attributed to a single person or claimed by a particular nation. This usually results from the selfishness of individuals or the nationalism of governments, with something to gain by claiming that they practice the original or pure form of a particular martial art. In particular, dictatorships are prone to these types of claims. However, teachers of Taekwondo and other martial arts need to do their part to correct these misnomers by teaching their students the history of their particular style of martial arts. It is important that students be taught the truth about the fundamentals of the martial arts that they study, in order to get the most out of their training. It helps no one if instructors try to make martial arts the product of one nation or try to imbue martial arts with mythological backgrounds and lineages of thousands of years. T he following highlights the history of martial arts on the Korean Peninsula:
      751 A.D.:At Sok Kul Temple, a statute of Kumgang Yuksa, a famous warrior, was erected in a martial arts fighting stance in a small Buddhist cave during the reign of King Hye-Gong (742-762).

    Book Review The History of Karate: Goju-Ryu by Morio Higaonna
    Thousand Oaks, CA: Dragon Books, 1995, 226pp, 6" x 9" illus. (paperback) $34.95
    BOOK REVIEW by Dr. Robert Dohrenwend.
    Reproduced here by kind permission of Via Media Publishing Company, this review is reprinted from the Journal of Asian Martial Arts, Volume 8, Number 2, 1999, pp. 96-99.
    Higaonna Morio is a figure of such imposing stature in the world of karate that he genuinely needs no introduction. The result of decades of research into the history of Goju-ryu, his book is based on information he received while training as a young student, hundreds of hours of interviews with senior Okinawan karateka and instructors, and personal research carried out in China. Higaonna's book is the closest thing available in English to primary source for the early period of Okinawan karate. It is fortunate that Higaonna, a native speaker of the Okinawan language and a highly respected karateka of extraordinary skill and understanding, was inspired to do this research during a period when the older Okinawan karateka were still alive. It was a unique combination of opportunity and skills. The book is of very high quality and well illustrated. The paper is of excellent quality, and the pages are sewn, not merely glued. The cover is durable and attractive. This book is designed to be solid. It will withstand frequent readings without appreciable wear or damage. And this is a good thing.

Evidence that Martial Arts were being practiced at that time can be found in tombs where wall-paintings show two men in fighting-stance. Others reject this evidence and say that these men could be simply dancing. Back then, time there were three kingdoms:
  • Koguryo (37 B.C. - 668 A.D.) Paekje (18 B.C. - 600 A.D.) Silla (57 B.C. - 935 A.D.)
  • Silla unified the kingdoms after winning the war against Paekje in 660 A.D. and Koguryo in 668 A.D. The Hwa Rang Do played an important role at this unification. The Hwa Rang Do was an elite group of young noble men, devoted to cultivating mind and body and serve the kingdom Silla. The best translation for HwaRang would probably be "flowering youth" (Hwa ="flower", Rang="young man"). The HwaRang Do had an honor-code and practiced various forms of martial arts, including Taekyon and Soo Bakh Do. The old honor-code of the HwaRang is the philosophical background of modern Taekwondo. What followed was a time of peace and the HwaRang turned from a military organization to a group specialized in poetry and music. It was in 936 A.D. when Wang Kon founded the Koryo dynasty, an abbreviation of Koguryo. The name Korea is derived from Koryo.

    hapkido Preface Introduction Korean hapkido ("the way of harmonious energy" or "the way of coordinated power") is a contemporary martial art with ancient roots. Hapkido shares with other Korean fighting systems a lineage which dates back roughly to the time of Christ. Along the way, the art now known as Hapkido has been influenced by Japanese and Chinese martial arts and thought. Hapkido today is a multi-faceted martial art, blending hard and soft techniques. Like traditional styles of Karate-do ("the way of the empty hand"), Hapkido employs strong linear (ie hard ) techniques such as strikes and kicks. Like Aikido or Aiki-JiuJitsu, it also uses circular (ie soft ) techniques, such as off-balancing or throwing, which re-direct an attacker's energy to his or her disadvantage. Korean Martial Arts: Ancient Beginnings Entombed wall-paintings (circa 50 BC) showing men in what appear to be fighting stances form the basis of the assumption that Korean martial arts predate Christ; although these may also have been pictures of men dancing.(World Hwa Rang Do Association, 1996). Nonetheless, the subsequent events in Korean history would tend to suggest that martial arts appeared fairly close to this time. The history of Korean martial arts is tightly intertwined with that country's centuries-old struggle for unity from within and independence from without. Prior to the unification of the people of Korea under the sovereignty of King Chin-Heung 1300 years ago, their country was torn apart by feuds and insurrection. Three kingdoms had struggled for supremacy of the land now known as Korea:

    A BRIEF HISTORY FROM ASIA TO AMERICA AND THE A-KATO So, it is hard to piece together a truly accurate historical account because victorious societies and powerful organizations usually write their histories to put themselves in the best light. Still, we can try to present a simple picture of the development of the martial arts over the centuries. CHINA China is usually considered the birthplace of the martial arts. But again, records are rare and legends abound. The most popular story centers on an Indian Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma (Daruma in Japanese) who is said to have traveled to China around 525 AD and began teaching a system of physical and mental exercises at the Shaolin Monastery. Over the decades Kung Fu (a collective term for Chinese arts that is, interestingly, not used in China itself) developed into a refined but very diverse collection of styles. Traveling monks introduced their methods into other countries which further modified the arts into native systems. JAPAN/OKINAWA Because Japan had occupied the islands for hundreds of years before finally annexing them in 1856, Karate had no doubt been taken to the Japanese mainland. However empty-hand and simple weapon fighting was considered lower-class by the highly trained samurai with their elaborate sword skills.
