Karate

Back to Home

Karate is an unarmed martial-arts discipline employing kicking, striking, and defensive blocking with arms and legs. Emphasis is on concentrating as much of the body’s power as possible at the point and instant of impact. Striking surfaces include the hands (particularly the knuckles and the outer edge), ball of the foot, heel, forearm, knee, and elbow. Timing, tactics, and spirit, however, are each considered at least as important as physical toughening.

Federations aim to promote karate as a sport and to inform about everything related to this activity

Kata

Kata is the practice of performing sequences of specific karate moves, usually alone or in pairs in order to perfect the technique and fluidity of motion a karateka has.

Kumite

Kumite is where two competitors face off performing defensive and offensive techniques in a competition. Competitors can use punches, kicks or takedowns against their opponents.

Para-Karate

Para-Karate refers to a modality of Karate in which competition rules have been established in order to accommodate fair competitions among athletes with disabilities.

Youth Pre-Competitive

The youth pre-competitive activity has the objective of promoting the discipline of Sports Karate through technical programs preparatory to kumite and sports kata.
