It is a way without weapon of self-defence. It consists of the maximum use of all the members of its body with offensive and defensive techniques energy.


Karate as self-defence is one of the most functional martial arts. A karate expert can coordinate his spirit and body, allowing him to release enormous quantities of energy. So it can develop its will and its force. Consequently, it is not the possession of a powerful physical force which makes a good karate expert, but rather the ability to coordinate its spirit and body. By developing this capacity, even the smallest people can find the capacity to deliver a devastating punch with any attacker.


The values of Karate are numerous and can prove to be beneficial with the modern man. In everyday life, we often forget the importance to be maintained in form as well physically as mentally. The practice of Karate invigorates the body, develops coordination, sharpens the reflexes and increases the endurance. Karate have no limits. In this activity, the age is not an obstacle. This discipline encourages the coordination of the body and the spirit.
