Karate

The Karate is one of the most famous martial arts.

The meaning of the word "Karate" is: " Empty Hand ".

There are two translates:

1. Empty of weapon.

2. Empty of any harm desires.

The Karate is used for self defence only!!! There are many styles of Karate, like Shito Rio, Shotokan and Wado Rio....

I will explain about the Shotokan Karate Do:

There are 3 parts in the Karate training:

Kihon - Practice of the basic skills and the more advanced combinations.

Kumite - Practice of a true battle.

Kata - A simulation of a fight against many rivels.

Modern Karate:

The problem with the modern Karate is that in our days teachers and coaches are teaching only phisycal skills and do not teach the Karate spirit and the Karate philosophy. Today, the Karate students do not know where did it come from and what is the meaning of it. It is too bad that Karate is used as a sport compatition and not as it should used...Karate should connect the body with the soal and spirit. True Karate master is the one that can win a battle without fighting ! When you can union with your enemy, when you can make your enemy as your friend then you know how to use the Karate and you are worthy to wear the Black Belt !! If all you want to do is a show, you better go and learn to be an actress and not a Karateka.
