History of Karate
Karate began in Okinawa, Japan. At the time, weapons were banned by Japanese forces, so locals had to figure out how to defend themselves. As a result, they came up with Karate, which means “empty 'hands” in Japanese.Although karate is Japanese, there is very little information about where it got its influence from. One legend says that it came from India thousands of years ago, and it was brought to China by a Buddhist monk by the name of Bodhidarma. He arrived to teach Zen Buddhism and a style of Boxing that made the body and Mind Strong.
