Karate is a Japanese martial arts discipline with an emphasis on unarmed hand-to-hand combat that originated on the island of Okinawa. With historic roots that can be traced back to antiquity, modern karate initially developed as a hybrid of indigenous Okinawan forms of self-defense and traditional Chinese martial arts that made their way to the island over time. By the seventeenth century, karate became systematized in Okinawa, with several different schools and systems that each emphasized somewhat disparate techniques and methods of training. Although karate was for hundreds of years practiced predominantly in secret and only by an elite few, it eventually grew into a global phenomenon. In the twenty-first century, as many as one hundred million people in more than one hundred countries worldwide practice karate, which is regarded as a major international sport with a diverse array of styles and numerous sanctioning organizations.
