HAPPY WORLD KARATE DAY! On this day in 1936, senior masters in #Okinawa held a meeting about the future of Karate. 🥋 Originally, the art was known as ”Toudi” (唐手 lit. ”Chinese Hand”) and taught in secrecy. But now it was decided to popularize the art! The result was a name change, adopting the belts and titles of Judo, standardizing styles and implementing a competition format. If it wasn’t for this historical meeting, maybe #Karate wouldn’t exist today! This is why Oct 25 is celebrated as #WorldKarateDay. 👊💪👌 (at SU-HA-RI Karate Wado Ryu) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVcyGkOMNqi/?utm_medium=tumblr
