Abstract
This paper will focus on the transition of contemporary Karate-dō from a semi secretive Okinawan folk art to a global combat sport. An historical overview of Budō (Japanese martial arts) will be provided post the Meiji Restoration (1868) with particular attention given to the Taishō (1912-1926) and early Shōwa periods (1926-1989). The introduction of Karate-dō to mainland Japan will be examined. The paper will further consider the influence of western military practices and Japanese militarism in relation to teaching methods present in contemporary Karate-dō.
