Karate is Japanese, but I get your point.
- lkrubner 5y agoWe are both wrong. I was thinking "Island south of Japan" and I said Taiwan, but I should have said Okinawa, which was conquered by Japan and part of the Japanese empire in the 1890s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryukyu_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryukyu_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karate Taiwan was also conquered by Japan and was part of the empire in the 1890s, which I think is why I confused it with Okinawa.
