The Origin of The Five Fingered Fist

Students of the Five Fingered Fist Society can trace the school's origin back nearly 140 years to the birth of Okinawan Karate master Choki Motobu, who is credited with originally translating the Chuan Fa elements of his style, Okinawan Shorin-Ryu, also known as "The Shaolin Way," into the art's current basic structure.
