Karate began somewhere in the distan

t past with elements of unarmed fighting methods from China and Japan coming together to be shaped by the unique culture and people of a small group of islands known as Okinawa. Situated geographically and sociologically at the halfway point between two great cultures, Okinawans developed a strong fighting spirit, which allowed them to exist for centuries as a culture distinct from their stronger neighbors. The physical and mental benefits of this art form have been recognized worldwide. Through physical training, a student learns that emotions control the physical body. Karate is the mastering of the body, the mind, and the emotions. It creates self-confidence in ones ability to stop an opponent with a single finishing blow (todome). Such confidence leads to stable emotions. Stable emotions eliminate negative emotions, to the benefit of physical and mental health. Traditional Karate tournaments maintain the original techniques and spirit of the ancient martial arts of karate and judges its participants based on a balance of technique, control and ability to finish a real-life opponent with a single blow. Participants fight at full strength, stopping a potential blow or kick within centimetres of their opponent. This combination of power and control takes years to develop and perfect.
