I am taller than all of the teachers I studied with since adulthood. However, when we trained I always felt that they were taller. Only in photographs do I notice that I am taller.
This is a strange thing!

"Karate Jutsu" means "China Hand art". Karate came to Okinawa from China. Only in the 1930s or so, was the term "Karate" changed to mean "Empty Hand". "China Hand" was used in Hawaii until after World War II, and is still used in some dojo.
