Okinawan martial arts refers to the martial arts, such as karate, tegumi and Okinawan kobudō, which originated among the indigenous people of Okinawa Island. Due to its central location, Okinawa was influenced by various cultures with a long history of trade and cultural exchange, including Japan, China, and Southeast Asia, that greatly influenced the development of martial arts on Okinawa. ==History== In 1429, the three kingdoms on Okinawa unified to form the Kingdom of Ryūkyū. When King Shō Shin came into power in 1477, he banned the practice of martial arts. Tō-te and Ryukyu kobudō (weaponry) continued to be taught in secret.〔(Okinawan Masters ). msisshinryu.com.

By the 18th century, different types of ''Te'' had developed in three different villages – Naha, Shuri, and Tomari. The styles were named Naha-te, Shuri-te and Tomari-te, respectively. Well into the 20th century, the martial arts of Okinawa were generally referred to as ''te'' and ''tii'' 手 in Japanese and Okinawan for "hand". ''Te'' often varied from one town to another, so to distinguish among the various types of ''te'', the word was often prefaced with its area of origin; for example, Naha-te, Shuri-te, or Tomari-te. Naha-te, Shuri-te and Tomari-te belong to a family of martial arts that were collectively defined as ''Tode-jutsu'' or ''To-de.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.msisshinryu.com/history/tomari-te/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.koshinrin.ca/katas.htm )〕 Karate (''Okinawa-te'' or ''Karate-jutsu'') was systematically taught in Japan after the Taisho era (after 1926).〔Donn F.
