What is karate?

KARATE: Empty hand

Karate is a Japanese martial art that focuses on developing physical and mental strength, teaching attack and defense techniques without weapons. Karate relies on hand-to-hand techniques and kicks, with a strong emphasis on improving flexibility, balance, and coordination. It aims to improve physical fitness and personal development, as well as foster discipline, respect, and self-confidence.

Karate techniques include a variety of strikes, kicks, holds, and takedowns, and practitioners learn how to use them effectively against opponents. Karate practitioners possess the ability to handle difficult situations and achieve balance between body and mind, helping them develop self-confidence and composure in difficult circumstances.

In addition to its physical benefits, karate is also a means of fostering self-discipline and respect for others. Regular training contributes to improved overall health and strengthens the body and mind, making it a comprehensive art for personal development.
