WHAT IS KARATE
Karate can also be described as a martial art, or fighting method, involving a variety of techniques, including blocks, strikes and throws. Karate practice is divided into three aspects: kihon (basics), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring).
The word karate is a combination of two Japanese characters: kara, meaning empty, and te, meaning hand; thus, karate means "empty hand." Adding the suffix "-do" (pronounced "doe"), meaning "way," i.e., karate-do, implies karate as a total way of life that goes well beyond the self-defense applications. In traditional karate-do, we always keep in mind that the true opponent is oneself.

HOW TO DO
Karate classes are held in a dojo and are instructed by the kancho (founder) , shihan (teacher), sempi (black belt /younger helper). At each karate class we always begin by bowing to show respect . To start the class we always do some warming up exercises such as running on the spot, stretching & doing the splits ect. After the warm ups we would do as the instructor has planned either if its kumite (fighting) , kata(form) or just running over the basics. At the end of the class all students must return to were they started the class to end the class with a bow as they did at the start of the class.
