A bit of historical context on Karate no Hi, or World Karate Day, including a recitation of the transcript from the 1936 "Meeting of the Masters" that cemented October 25th as the date to celebrate karate. Corrections: When Miyagi mentions going to Buwa, that is in Hawaii, not China. The bits about Toyama Kanken's Shudokan are additions provided by Toyama in his book, they were not included in the actual meeting. #history #japan #okinawa #bunburyodo #karate #karatejutsu #karateobsession #karatei
