Karate
Karate is the art of open hand self-defense. It trains the human body to
become the ultimate and only weapon one may need to defend oneself. It is
a true mind/body/spirit discipline. All of these must be in balance for us
to realize our full potential.Early Asian history carries colourful stories
of Warlords and Dynasties. During this tumultuous time came a banning of
weapons; noble and peasants alike. The only means of defending oneself was
with one's own wits and brute strength and any object within reach that could be
used as a weapon...a stick, farm utensil, or even a broom.
A true karate student will train a lifetime hoping to never have to
utilize the skill acquired.
