The ramblings of a nerd - My attempt to understand some of the history of Karate



As a novice, have been rambling through the foothills of karate history for a few months now, trying to make some sense in my own head as to how the complicated beast called karate came to be.  I have always been an avid history buff, so it was an absolute guarantee if I started karate, at some point I was going to dive into the history.   Given the oral tradition, there will always be points of accuracy and disagreements, but where possible I have tried to provide quotes or supporting material to what (I think I've found).  

I keep forgetting exactly what I've blogged, so I decided to put it all in one place so it is easier for me to find and for others to read if interested.  Comments always welcome. REY 08-04-20
