Hi, I hold a black belt in karate. Karate was bought to Japan in the early 20th century?
What color belts exist?
Karate in the United States
Karate was first introduced to American service men after World War II by Japanese karate masters.
Many of these US servicemen took their newfound skills to the United States and established their own dojos. Many Japanese karate instructors were also sent to popularize the martial art in the United States. Robert Trias was the first American to open a karate dojo in the United States.
