Karate
Karate is a traditional Japanese martial art that focuses on self-defense techniques using punches, kicks, knee strikes, and open-hand techniques. It emphasizes speed, power, and precision in executing movements. Karate practitioners, known as karatekas, train to develop physical strength, flexibility, and mental discipline. The art of karate involves various forms or katas, which are choreographed sequences of movements that simulate combat scenarios. These forms help karatekas improve their technique, balance, and coordination. Karate is not only a physical discipline but also a way of life, promoting respect, humility, and self-control. It is practiced worldwide and is recognized as an Olympic sport.
