Motobu Chōki : ウィキペディア英語版
Motobu Chōki

was an Okinawan ''karateka'' from Akahira Village in Shuri, Okinawa, capital of the Ryūkyū Kingdom when he was born. His older brother Motobu Chōyū was also a noted ''karateka''.
His father, Lord Motobu Chōshin (''Motobu Aji Chōsin'') was a descendant of the sixth son of the Okinawan King, Shō Shitsu (1629–1668), namely Shō Kōshin, also known as Prince Motobu Chōhei (1655–1687). Chōki was the third son of ''Motobu Udun'' ("Motobu Palace"), one of the cadet branches of the Ryūkyūan royal family.
As the last of three sons, Motobu Chōki was not entitled to an education in his family's style of ''Te'' (an earlier name for karate). Despite this Motobu was very interested in the art, spending much of his youth training on his own, hitting the ''makiwara'', pushing and lifting heavy stones to increase his strength. He is reported to have been very agile, which gained him the nickname ''Motobu no Saru'', or "Motobu the Monkey." He began practicing karate under Matsumura Sōkon and continued under Ankō Itosu, Sakuma Pechin and Kōsaku Matsumora.
== Training and career ==
Although he was reputed by his detractors to have been a violent and crude street fighter, with no formal training, Motobu was a student of several of Okinawa's most prominent karate practitioners.〔McCarthy, Patrick and Yuriko. "Motobu Choki: Karate, My Art. International Ryukyu Karate Research Group. 2002〕 Ankō Itosu (1831–1915), Sōkon Matsumura (1809–1899), Sakuma Pechin, Kōsaku Matsumora (1829–1898), and Tokumine Pechin (1860–1910) all taught Motobu at one time or another. Many teachers found his habit of testing his fighting prowess via street fights in the ''tsuji'' (red light district) undesirable, but his noble birth (as a descendant of the royal Okinawan Shō family)〔 may have made it hard for them to refuse.
Popular myth holds that Motobu only knew one ''kata'', ''Naifanchi'' (Naihanchi). Although he favored this ''kata'', and called it "the fundamental of karate," he also made comments on the practice of ''Passai'', ''Chintō'', and ''Rōhai''. Other sources describe ''Sanchin'', ''Kusanku'', and ''Ueseishi'' as having been part of his repertoire. He apparently developed his own ''kata'', ''Shiro Kuma'' (White Bear). Motobu lived and taught karate in Japan until 1941, when he returned to Okinawa, dying shortly thereafter. Prior to this, he had made several trips there to study orthodox ''kata'' and ''kobudō'' in an effort to preserve the traditional forms of the art.
