[edit] Kan

I was under the impression that "kan" refers to the hall where Shoto & his students trained. /Habj 09:30, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You are correct.

[edit] Copyright

The majority of this article (everything excluding the first paragraph and last line) is taken directly from http://www.shotokankarate.ca/gichin%20funakoshi%20sensei.htm. Before listing it on Copyright problems, I wanted to see if anyone wished to rewrite this article or had any information regarding the author of the Shotokan Karate webpage. I'll wait a couple days for a response, but if I receive none, I will list the page and most of its contents will be deleted. NymphadoraTonks | Talk 29 June 2005 00:19 (UTC)

Is the correct transcription "shoto" or "shuto"? Im leaning toward the latter.--Nightryder84 20:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

I think it's "shuto". That's how my senseis, dojo and, to my knowledge, the national JKA in my country pronounce it. Piano man 00:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually is Shoutou User:Aleg

by robzombie Deleted some things and added a extremely huge biography. For questions mail to ilja.lerner@freenet.de

The material added by user robzombie appears to be a cut and paste from http://oldweb.uwp.edu/academic/hpea/class/karate/funakoshi.html which contains copyrighted material from other web sites. I have put the version of August 31 2005, before the cut & paste, on the temp page. --Big_Iron 21:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Temp page moved to the main article. RedWolf 01:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

This entry consisted mostly of generalized information, questionable statements and Shotokan dogma. Enough well documented research is now available in English to provide for a factual article here. Funakoshi/karate debates aside, this is but one topic in karate research, and every effort should be made to keep it unbiased. RSimpson

[edit] Major Overhaul

I intend to do a major overhaul and expand this article fully in the next week or so. Any suggestions or help welcome. Angrynight 01:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selective delete and move

I have fixed the copy-and-paste move Simon123 performed. I also deleted revisions tainted by a copyvio from 212.200.196.11. --Slowking Man 13:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What About his 20 rules?

Didn't Funakoshi have 20 guiding principles of Karate? Why not include them in the article since its about him? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.63.78.73 (talk) 22:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC).
