So who is
Choki Motobu
Motobu Chōki.is the Okinawan karateka who defeated Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan, in a challenge match. Whereby
Motobu, a renowned fighter known for practical, street-oriented karate, style derived from trainining with different Okinawan teachers was reportedly furious that a newspaper mistakenly credited Funakoshi a more academic, "watered down" practitioner in Motobu's view for a 1922 fight where Motobu had knocked out a boxer.
Following this, Motobu challenged Funakoshi to a kakedameshi (a sparring match that starts with crossed arms and often ends on the ground) and defeated him easily in front of his students, according to accounts. Motobu apparently knocked him down three times

Great old movies that I’ve not seen before. Much to be learned from these early videos. The training shown is quite the same as I learned in 1976. Line movements and intense two man repetition with hours of kata, breaking, self defense, one step and three steps. Thank you for posting. We all came from Sakugawa Tode (1733-1815) whose teacher was Takahara Peichin. This is Shorei-Ryu . If you really want to go to the very beginning.. it’s Taishi Daruma (Bodhidharma) who crossed the Himalayas India to China around 530-545 AD.. it’s considered that he was trained in the Gladiator system of Rome..
