A community portal about Karate with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Karate is a martial art of Ryūkyūan origin. The word "karate" comes from kara, meaning empty, and te meaning hand. Karate has a rich and diverse history of development, incorporating countless influences from other martial arts and cultures. Today, karate is known primarily as a hard style striking art, featuring linear punches, blocks, kicks, knee/elbow strikes and open handed techniques. However, soft style punches and blocks, grappling, joint manipulations, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point striking are often an inherent part of many karate styles.
