My granddaughter is a year and a half old. Today, she came up to me with the cardboard roll from wrapping paper and tried to hit me!
I was so proud. (I blocked, if you are wondering.)
My eldest son practices Kendo, so we anticipate that my granddaughter will too -- Kendo and Karate. I'll bet that my third son teaches her Ju Jitsu too.
Respectfully,

"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.
