We study Shotokan, a japanese form of martial arts karate. So what does Shotokan mean?

Shotokan has three japanese kanji characters.
The “Sho” character means pine tree. The “to” character means waves and the “kan” character stands for school/training hall.

Our fighting style was founded by Sensei Gichin Funakoshi...

Gichin Funakoshi(船越 義珍,Funakoshi Gichin?, November 10, 1868 – April 26, 1957) was the founder of Shotokankarate, perhaps the most widely known style of karate, and is attributed as being the "father of modern karate".[1] Following the teachings of Anko Itosu, he was one of the Okinawan karatemasters...
