Karate is a traditional martial art that started from Okinawa, Japan, that emphasizes striking techniques such as punches, kicks, knee strikes, and open-hand techniques. It also includes blocks, parries, and body movements for defense. Karate has evolved into both a practical self-defense system and a sport.

Features of Karate

  1. Kata: Pre-arranged forms or patterns of movements that simulate combat scenarios. These sequences help practitioners master techniques, improve balance, and develop mental focus.
  2. Kumite: Sparring practice, which may range from controlled drills to free-form combat, depending on the level and purpose of training.
  3. Kihon: Basic techniques, including individual punches, kicks, and blocks, practiced repetitively to build strength, precision, and muscle memory.
  4. Philosophy: Karate emphasizes discipline, respect, and self-control, often following the Dojo Kun (moral code of the dojo).
  5. Ranks and Belts: Karate practitioners advance through colored belt ranks, typically from white (beginner) to black (mastery), signifying increasing skill and understanding.
