I received an email from the author of The Whale People blog at http://www.thewhalepeople.com/. I thought you might like to visit it.
Like I said, to me, whales and dolphins are basically people. Here in the United States, if someone tried to do to dogs what commercial hunters do to whales and dolphins, our whole nation would be up in arms.

"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.
