Karate is a martial art codified in Japan but its origins come from China and ancient India, from where its spiritual values stem from. It is considered a defensive art and it is also called karate-do –the path of the empty hand–. It is considered an art that helps develop strength, balance, speed, rhythm and flexibility as well as the knowledge around falling or avoiding contact in a safe way. Similarly karate works on clarity and the right expression for each movement as well tolerance and responsibility.
