CONTENT OF THE LESSON

LESSON ONE – INTRODUCTION 

Karate is a sport, originally from Japan, in which people fight using their arms, legs, hands, and feet.

The level of skill a person has is shown by what colour belt they wear.

 

HISTORY OF KARATE

In its current form, karate is less than 200 years old however it has roots that date back thousands of years.

The art originated on the island of Okinawa and in its early form was heavily influenced by ancient Chinese martial arts, collectively known as kung fu.

 

THE BEGINNINGS OF KARATE HISTORY ON OKINAWA 

The history of Okinawan Karate can be traced back to the late 17th century when a ban on weapons was imposed by the samurai rulers of Japan.

The exact evolution of karate history is lost due to the lack of information being written down which is unsurprising when taking into account the strict rules against subjects of the island learning martial arts.
