Karate is a Japanese martial art that means "the way of the empty hand" or fight with bare hands. Karate is a martial discipline whose techniques are used to defend and respond to aggression through different parts of the body.

The philosophy of karate is based on values that are essential: respect, righteousness, sincerity, modesty, humility, self-control, loyalty, benevolence, courage, kindness and sense of  honor. This moral code creates all the wealth of karate as a discipline of life and that is what differentiates it from a simple sport.

Regular practice of karate develops a deeper knowledge of one's mental abilities, good coordination of body and mind, and more self-confidence
