Karate classes in Deeside

While Karate is considered largely to be just a self defence technique in todays society, Karate has ancient history, honour, internal beliefs and one of the oldest forms of fighting to date. Although there is many styles of Karate, at the core it is considered to be one of the most spiritual, awakening and life changing of all martial arts. This is why there is such a vibrant and well documented history around Karate and that’s far beyond any of the movies that are made around Karate. 

Karate evolved in East Asia over a period of centuries, becoming systematized in the very well known heart and soul of Karate Okinawa in the 17th century, this is probably developed over time by people forbidden to carry weapons in those times. It was originally imported into Japan in the 1920s. Several martial arts schools and martial arts systems developed their own Karate style, each favouring somewhat different techniques and training methods. 

Karate, like other Asian martial-arts disciplines, stresses mental attitude, rituals of courtesy, costumes, and a complex ranking system (by colour of belt). There is some overlapping of technique with other fighting styles, but this ancient Arte of Karate is one born of respect, honour, spiritual enlightenment, self defence and discovering a new version of yourself.
