A Japanese, not an Okinawan - Japan only learned of karate from Funikoshi in 1914, the same year they officially were introduced to kobudo by Matayoshi. Japan adopted karate as a physical education for "the people" and altered it for that end. You might as well have quoted a tae kwon do writer.

Written by Fumio Demura.yes of course, what I'm saying is that you can use tonfa according to some karate you may know. not the other way around.

Probably *not* written by an Okinawan! An experience karateka doesn't get that way by using weapons, but learning new skills can make you more adaptable.
