Reflection

<p>The Ryukyu Islands a center of diverse cultures have absorbed martial arts techniques from various nations giving birth to the distinctive and deadly Okinawan martial arts.</p><p></p><p>This fusion a product of centuries of trade and cultural exchange has created a unique style forbidden for use except in self-defense.</p><p></p><p>However the question arises as to whether this tradition still holds relevance in Japan's current occupation of the island especially in light of the Meiji Restoration.</p><p></p><p>Ironically Master Kyoshi of the prestigious Kyoshi School of Okinawan Martial Arts stands accused of using this sacred technique for murder.</p><p></p><p>Is there a motive behind his actions or could someone else from his school who learned the deadly method of ending someone's life from the same institution be involved?</p>
