Karate is a Japanese martial art whose physical aspects seek the development of defensive and counterattacking body movements. The themes of traditional Katate training are fighting and self-defense, though its mental and moral aspects target the overall improvement of the individual.
Karate (Japanese, “empty hand”) is an unarmed comfot and self-defense system that targets weak areas on an attacker’s body by using the hands, arms, legs and feet to strike with fast, powerful flows.
A person who practices or competes in Karate can be called a “Karateka”. A karate instructor can be called a “semsei”, and a school where Karate is taught can be called a “dojo”.
Karate is also practiced as a sport in two main forms.
(1) Kumite (meaning “sparring”) is the traditional form involving matches between two fighters who spar against each other and are awarded paints for landing flows.
(2) Kata (meaning “Pattern” or “form”), involves individual competitors performing a rehearsed set of karate techniques (called forms) before a panel of judges. Bath types were first included as Olympic events in the summer Olympic games in Tokyo in 2021.
Example : I signed my rids up for Karate so that they can learn self-defense and built their confidence.
