KARATE
Practice karate in Japan - our selection of clubs
Karate (空手道, karate-do) is a japanese martial art.
The kanji (ideogram) "kara" means emptiness, or rather emptiness in the Buddhist sense of the term, "you" is the hand as well as the technique that one achieves with the hand. To Karate its literally translated as "the empty hand". This martial art combines a system of combat, self-defense, physical conditioning and spiritual development by different percussion techniques that use all the natural weapons of the human body (hands, elbows, arms, feet, knees, head) to block opponent attacks and / or attack.
Modern karate originates from the Chinese boxing (唐 手, To-De) which will become in OKINAWA, a progressive assimilation over centuries of Chinese techniques (Shaolin kempo and others).
Then, in the 20s, Gichin FUNAKOSHI will settle in Tokyo and develop his techniques include parades, dodges, sweeps, projections and keys.
The technical content of Karate is sometimes significantly nuanced according to different styles of karate (shotokan, wado-ryu, shito-ryu, goju-ryu, ...).
In France, the main styles are Shôtôkan (Gichin FUNAKOSHI), Wado-ryu (a former student of Funakoshi, Otsuka Hironori and now his son and grandson in France), Shito-ryu (successors of Mabuni Kenwa) and different Goju.
