History Of Shotokan Karate Continued
During his life Master Funakoshi was invited to Japan to give talks on his system of Karate. He gave many talks about Karate including talks about the athletic benefits of the system. Master Funakoshi and a group of students toured Japan giving demonstrations and promoting Karate. In 1955 the "Japan, Karate, Association" was formed with Funakoshi as its chief instructor.
Master Funakoshi died in 1957 at the grand age of 88 years. The legacy of Shotokan Karate is still practised today and more and more people are practising the martial arts and with plans to put Karate in the Olympic games we can only hope that Karate continues to go from strength to strength.
