Truth about belief in prostitution and drinking

edit

Is it true that he believed and taught that hard drinking and hiring prostitutes was an essential part of martial arts training? Check out this. User5802 (talk) 00:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Standards in the article

edit

If possible, I would like a second opinion in regards to removing the clean-up notation before doing so myself. I also like anyone who owns the books noted in the "See Below" section to possibly expand the article with the related information. Iamzander777 (talk) 17:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I believe it is safe to remove the link to Chatan Yara under the Teachers section. It is a well known fact that Chatan Yara died 115 years before Chotoku Kyan was born. Adding Yomitan Yara as a possible teacher, with the request for further citations. --TerrySoucy (talk) 15:14, 9 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

First Son or Third Son of Chofu Kyan

edit

I believe that Kyan was actually the third son of Chofu Kyan, not the first stated in this article. See The Essence of Okinawan Karate by Shoshin Nagamine. I will make this change, and trust others find this is ok. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desparoz (talkcontribs) 09:53, 20 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
