      \"04d\"escription:<\/b>
      \nOkinawa was formerly known as the Ry\u016bky\u016b Kingdom. This island kingdom was situated between China and Japan, the two giants in the ancient Asian world order. Involved for centuries in maritime trade, tribute, diplomacy and war, it became variously known as the peaceful kingdom, the islands of longevity, and the land of propriety. Over the course of five centuries, within its encapsulated maritime sphere, unique forms of martial traditions emerged. Today these are known as Karate<\/em> and Kobud\u014d<\/em>\u00a0– and many other names – the pride of the Okinawans, and world martial arts enjoyed by millions of people around the globe.<\/p>\n

      Karate 1.0 was also covered in the\u00a0Okinawa Karate News\u00a0\u6c96\u7e04\u7a7a\u624b\u901a\u4fe1<\/a>, No. 91, 2014\/01 issue.<\/p>\n

      The university libraries of Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich<\/a> as well as of the world’s largest sports university<\/a>\u00a0– the German Sport University Cologne – added copies of Karate 1.0 to their inventory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Yet, to this day factual details about the ancient and early modern history of these martial traditions haven’t been researched in detail. As the result of the author\u2019s exclusive and trailblazing research, which started two decades ago with a white belt at a friend\u2019s d\u014dj\u014d,\u00a0KARATE 1.0\u00a0now bears witness to the myriad headwaters of modern day Karate<\/em> and Kobud\u014d<\/em>.<\/p>\n
