Who are Hawaii's most famous martial artists?
In Japan, I am sure that the answer is: Akebono, Konishiki, Musashimaru, and Takamiyama -- Hawaii's Sumo wrestlers. It is hard for Americans to appreciate the accomplishments of these great budoka.

"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.
For more information, please visit the Hawaii Karate Seinenkai website.
The spirit of Karate is the Aloha spirit.
