What is Karate Do?
For me, talking about Karate, what is Karate Do? Is to talk about something that I know I'll expand on.
When we talk about Karate Do, many times we do it by defining it in an incomplete way.
Karate is certainly an original martial art, as we know it now, in Okinawa. Its name means Way of the Empty Hand.
The philosophy of Karate is based not only on practice as a combat technique, but also on Budo, which tries to form and perfect the personality through rigorous tests. Intense practice, introspection, mind, body and spirit in perfect harmony, that is what Karate represents.
I have always said that there is a misconception of this martial art, many think that it is a simple exhibition of wild fighting and / or breaking bricks or other objects.
Karate as an art of self defense must go hand in hand with the spiritual aspect, as noted by the teacher Gichin Funakoshi. When we begin to apply this, we will have understood the true concept of Karate.
