testKARATE

OVERVIEW

Speed, balance, and discipline, not only in sports but also in meditation, are the pillars of one of the best known martial arts in the world. Two disciplines will be featured in the Pan American Games: Kata is a simulated choreographic fight against several opponents and Kumite is a real fight.

HISTORY

It dates back to the seventeenth century in the island of Okinawa, when its inhabitants developed fighting skills using only their bodies. The word “karate” means “empty hands” in Japanese.
