Shotokan (松濤館 Shōtōkan^?) is a style of karate, developed from various martial arts by Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Gigo (Yoshitaka) Funakoshi (1906–1945). Gichin was born in Okinawa^[1] and is widely credited with popularizing "karate do" through a series of public demonstrations, and by promoting the development of university karate clubs, including those at Keio, Waseda, Hitotsubashi (Shodai), Takushoku, Chuo, Gakushuin, and Hosei.^[2]
Funakoshi had many students at the university clubs and outside dojos, who continued to teach karate after his death in 1957. However, internal disagreements (in particular the notion that competition is contrary to the essence of karate) led to the creation of different organisations—including an initial split between the Japan Karate Association (headed by Masatoshi Nakayama) and the Shotokai (headed by Motonobu Hironishi and Shigeru Egami), followed by many others—so that today there is no single "Shotokan school", although they all bear Funakoshi's influence.
As the most widely practiced style, Shotokan is considered a traditional and influential form of karate do.

Many terms used in karate stem from Japanese culture. While many are names (e.g. Heian, Gankaku), others are exclusive to martial arts (e.g. kata, kumite). Many terms are seldom used in daily life, such as zenkutsu dachi, while others appear routinely, such as rei. The Japanese form is often retained in schools outside Japan to preserve the Okinawan culture and Funakoshi's philosophies.
However, many schools of JKA (Japan Karate Association) affiliated Shotokan Karate used the full terminology on a daily basis, providing translations also. For example, the KUI (Karate Union of Ireland), utilises the full and proper Japanese name for each move and kata in training, grading and competition.

Former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida holds a 3rd dan black belt in Shotokan karate, while his brother Shinzo holds a 4th dan and their father Yoshizo Machida holds a 7th dan and was head of the Japan Karate Association's Brazilian branch. Vitor Belfort also got a purple belt in Shotokan.
Action movie star Jean-Claude Van Damme holds a black belt in Shotokan and used the style when he competed in full contact karate competitions in the 1970s and 1980s. Wesley Snipes has a 5th dan black belt in Shotokan.^[21] Actor and action movie star Michael Jai White is also a practitioner of and black belt in Shotokan alongside six other distinct martial arts.^[22] Bear Grylls^{[citation needed]} and Karate World Champion Luca Valdesi^{[citation needed]} also practice the art.

I began my training in the martial arts over fourteen years ago in the little town of Alexandria, Louisiana. From the first I was interested in weapons, but I had
great difficulty in finding any but a handful of people who knew anything about weapons. For many years I was only able to acquire little bits of weapons training
from various teachers here and there. I tried to learn all that I could from books, but found that the number of books on weapons is almost as short in supply as the
number of instructors with a knowledge of weapons. I also found that most of the books about weapons were written by the same man and were incomplete in their
depth, for no books were available on the tonfa or the yawara, and only a few were available on the staff, the bo, and the knife. There seemed to be numerous books
on the nunchaku, most poorly done, and a few books on the sai; but all in all the books available for the martial art student who was interested in weapons were few
and far between.
So I decided to write my own book. I spent the last four years doing research and training with weapons, learning their use and applications. I was able to achieve
a fourth degree black belt in weapons (kubojitsu), I had already written four other books and a movie script, "The Leopard," so I was familiar with what was
necessary to write a good book. I wanted my book to have techniques that a beginner could learn, but that a teacher could also benefit from. I wanted to make the
book easy to follow by avoiding any overuse of photos or confusing text. I wanted to include a basic practice Kata for each weapon, as well as techniques for the
weapon's offensive and defensive use. Finally, I wanted to write a book that would serve as a manual on weapons for years to come-a
book that a student or a teacher would be proud to own and would refer to whenever they had a question on weapons or
wanted a new technique.
I feel that I have accomplished all of these goals in this book, The Complete Book of Karate Weapons. It is a book that I
am proud of and one that you can be proud to have in your library. If you will read this book with an open mind and follow
the techniques and exercises described herein, you can make yourself one of the few experts with weapons in the world
today.
I could never have written this book without the help of many friends and fellow martial artists who appear with me in
the instructional photos, both as technique partners and tech- nical advisers. These men, some of the most outstanding
black belts in the South, include:
Keith Yates: fourth degree black belt. Winner of many kata championships and weapons kata championships at the
top tournaments of the South. A master artist who also designed the cover of the book.
James Toney: fifth degree black belt. Teacher extraordinaire and tournament champion for many years. One of the
most respected teachers in Texas.
Barry Guimbellot: third degree black belt. Probably the most successful teacher
in Dallas, an outstanding example of character and leadership in karate.
Steve Weiss: second degree black belt. A modern jiu-jitsu expert who is also an expert in karate.
Ross Comerski: first degree black belt. A giant of a man and a giant of a teacher.
Finally, I must thank all of my teachers through my years of training for their help and knowledge, such great men as:
Soke R. Sacharnoski, Soke A. Church, Soke K. Marx, Master HeYoung Kimm, Shihan B. Pearson, Dr. J. Marler, and
Sensi B. Hathorn. These great men and excellent teachers gave the knowledge and training that enabled me to get to where
I am today. I am forever grateful to them and their arts.

Do you feel self-confident enough to handle any situation that might arise? if not, prepare for radical change in you life. Here, on these pages, the world- renowned karate Master, Mas Oyama, shares with you his own philosophy and technique that he has developed over period of many years. By means of diagrammatic photos (over 1300 of them), the master describes every important aspect of karate, starting with the basic elements - the hand, the foot, the elbow - and leading up through their use in actual training and combat situations, such as the kata (forms), kumita ( sparring) and tameshiwari. The two photographs here illustrate this incredible feat, the ultimate test of your ability. When you have reached this pinnacle, you will have achieved Mas Oyama's own life goals through karate - serenity, extremly good health, and the inner and external strength that will enable you to be gentle and courteous to anyone because you know you can afford to be.

Introduction 

The 100 Deadliest Karate Moves as a practical text for the serious martial 
arts student or teacher. It is soley meant to be used as a reference in practice, and I do not 
condone or suggest that any of the techniques found in this book be used in the street 
against another man, unless, of course, the defender's life is in immediate danger. The 
techniques found in this book were not devised by me, and most are common knowledge 
to the average student. 

What I have attempted to do is to compile moves in such a manner that one can 
study the kicks and blows and then can see the exact technique and target area, with the 
resulting damage to the attacker. I am assuming that the reader will have an adequate 
martial arts background so that he knows the basic stances and strikes. Therefore, I am 
showing only the strike or kick to the target area, without reference to body stances or 
other basics. All blows and kicks must be delivered with the utmost speed and power in 
order to be effective. 

In a final chapter I show examples of street applications of some of the tech- 
niques. This is meant as a training section in order to get the student or teacher to begin 
to think of how the strikes and blows might be applied in a life-or-death situation.
