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.
Okinawan Karate dates to the sixth century when Bodhidharma's (Daruma), born in India, travels took him to China where he settled at a Shao-lin (Shorin in Japanese) Monastery. The introduction of ch-uan-fa (fist way) occurred in the late 1300's with the expansion of trade and cultural exchanges between Okinawa and China.
