I'm sure he would. Japan even had a club for it at the University there back in 1924.
I love karate. I took it earlier when I was younger. Very interesting. I know that karate came to japan only in the beginning of the 20th century. Did you know that? Interesting. I had always thought it originated in China. It actually became popular in okinawa after the second world war among the men that were serving there It goes back quite a long way. It is good for the mental well being also. Oh definitely. The movies that came out in the 60's and 70's helped to increase the popularity of it around the world. It sure is popular. There are over 4 Karate studios in my town alone. Yeah, there are karate schools all over the world, providing service to people who have a casual interest and people who want a deeper study as well I might let my son learn how to take it one day. I think he would be good at it.
In 1924 Keio University established the first university karate club in mainland Japan and by 1932, major Japanese universities had karate clubs.
