class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Karate originated in Okinawa, a small island in Japan, during the Ryukyu Dynasty in the 14th century. The martial art was developed as a way to defend oneself against attackers without the use of weapons. Over time, karate became more than just a means of self-defense and evolved into a spiritual practice that focused on developing discipline, strength, and character.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Three_Masters_of_Okinawan_Karate\"><\/span>The Three Masters of Okinawan Karate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Three masters are credited with the development of Okinawan karate: Sakugawa Kanga (1733-1815), Matsumura Sokon (1809-1901), and Itosu Anko (1831-1915). Sakugawa Kanga is known for developing the first kata, which is a series of movements that are practiced to develop muscle memory and technique.
