Karate-do means "empty hand way" is a martial art from
Okinawa. The arrival of the Japan Karate is located in the
month of May 1922, founded by Master Gichin Funakoshi,

Karate-do is characterized by the use of
punches and kicks coordinating force (ki),
breathing, balance and posture, as well as
the proper hip rotation and movement of
limbs.

 Karate
I started karate 5 years old beginning with white belt and
child could practice up to 17 years old with a black belt.
Now I can return to practice karate.
Anyone can practice Karate only need to have discipline
and dedication.
I consider myself good at karate as a
child because I devote to this sport to get
the black belt developing my skill with fists
and kicks, and won several competitions
