Karamuto [唐無道] [唐武刀]

The characters/ideograms mean, "martial arts supposedly unarmed and similar to karate." The first character means, "T'ang; China," the second character means, "nothingness; none; ain't; nothing; nil; not," the third character means, "road-way; street; district; journey; course; moral; teachings."

The characters/ideograms mean, "martial arts supposedly unarmed and similar to karate." The first character means, "T'ang; China," the second character means, "warrior; military; chivalry; arms," the third character means, "sword; saber; knife." 

As to the second set of characters/ideograms, the second and third are open to discussion since I was unable to find the "exact" characters provided in the book that I use as the source for this term. The first characters/ideograms are the set I lean heavily toward for this definition. 

Aka Chokushiki, in a book, cites "Yawara (to be thought of as Jujitsu)" and a skill called "karamuto." From the context within the text is probably pointing to a historical form of karate or otherwise a martial art it originate from. When rendered in kanji, it is transcribed as karamudo [唐無道] (Chinese martial arts). Another possible explanation is karamuto [唐武刀] can be interpreted as Chinese Weaponless (Martial Arts). This form was used in the 18th century Okinawa.

It was Nagamine Shoshin who noted that the Okinawan Martial Arts were referred to as "Ti." The ethnic specifics of martial arts of Ti was created, on the other hand Sumo was born as entertainment of the common people. 

In Naha: Tegumi refes to the competition of sumo.

In Tomari and Shuri: It was called Muto. 

The term Karamuto per Aka Chokushiki in the mid 18th century most probably designates a style of wrestling from China specific to the Shuri area. 

This seems, to my perceptions, to verify that the indigenous system of martial arts was referred to historically as "Ti" with another term used also to designate not only the Ti practice but its interconnection to the Chinese influences, i.e. thereby the reasoning for the second Kanji, i.e. Karamuto. Both terms are used in the explanation but I suspect depending on who you talk to and their residence, i.e. Naha area, Tomari area or Shuri area, that karamuto or karamudo connect Okinawa Ti to the modern Karate.
