Karate

Karate is probably one of the most famous forms of Martial arts that have its origins in Okinawa, Japan. Karate means empty hand and is a martial art that stresses on the art of self defense through unarmed combat. Karate uses the hands as well as the legs to deliver lethal blows and also defend. Karate teaches various striking techniques that are based on the principles associated with understanding the body and its relation to balance and movements. It is probably one of the best forms of complete exercise since it requires the use of almost all the muscles of the body. The traditional Karate styles include the Shito Ryu, Goju Ryu, Wado Ryu and Shotokan.
