Sad to see no mention of Ryu Ryuko and Higaonna Sensei[0] in the section describing karate in the early 1900s. Higaonna Sensei was the person whose likeness became “Sensei Miyagi” in the Karate Kid movie. Ironically, Kanryo’s student Chojun Miyagi[1] was the one who established another well-known style of karate, Okinawan Goju-Ryu[2] [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higaonna_Kanry%C5%8D https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higaonna_Kanry%C5%8D [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%8Djun_Miyagi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%8Djun_Miyagi [2]: The practice of Goju-Ryu is focused on both mastery of physical control and mental focus (summarizing my experience in this). With the death of Sensei Miyagi, however, the lineage split between his sons who each claimed to be the heads of their own branches of the system. Edit: Another peeve. In the very beginning of the article they try to group the practice with unconventional weapons — farming tools, bo staffs, etc — into naha-te when the reality is this branch of practice is kobudo. I wish that the author did more research on this section because there are plenty of sources documenting this portion of the art’s history.
