Karate

Karate is a striking-based martial art that originated in the Ryukyu Kingdom (modern Okinawa, Japan), emphasizing punches, kicks, knee strikes, and open-hand techniques along with blocking and footwork. Practitioners train through repetitive drills (kihon), prearranged forms (kata), and sparring (kumite), and progress through a colored-belt ranking system culminating in black belt (dan) grades. It's practiced worldwide both as a competitive Olympic sport and as a discipline for fitness, self-defense, and personal development.
