Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. As long as I know karate was created in Okinawa but it's name was not karate, Giching Funakoshi was an okinawan sesei who sporticed and make karate available to the masses when he located in Japan (Tokio?) and began teaching in the universities there.
Giching Funakoshi was in some way influenced by Dr. Jigoro Kano to create Karate Do?
Persons like Mas Oyama and Gen Choi (The father of TKD) where pupils of Funakoshi, however there is no record I know about Gen.Choi been a directa student from sensei Funakoshi, some sourses say Gen. Choi got a second dan black belt under Funakoshi and became a chief instructor but I am not su sure.
