Karate originated in the Ryukyu Islands (now known as Okinawa in Japan). Okinawa at that time was a trade hub for countries like Korea, China, Philippines and Japan.
The art comes to the world from Japan, but it's origin is in Okinawa. Okinawa was a tribute state of China and therefore the people traded goods. Martial arts made their way from China into Okinawa and developed with some differences in the different regions-Shuri and Naha.
