The word ‘karate’ means Chinese hand. It is popular in China. These martial arts have similarities with ancient Indian education system. Students had to learn karate from gurugriha. It has similarities with the celibacy of ancient India. The whole system of karate is helpful in character building. For example, one has to work on the instructions of the master, enter the class and clean the dojo (clean the place where one stands), wish to the teacher (attend to the teacher), do not talk in the class; stand up when the teacher comes, etc. This ideological similarity has also led to greater influence in karate. Karate lessons are started early with the aim of instilling discipline in the students, making them good citizens.

Discipline, moderation and patience:

There are many components of fitness, such as stability, balance, flexibility, cardio vascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength- all these aspects can be improved and muscle flexibility can be improved through karate. Older people tend to get injured easily. But if there is more flexibility, that fear is much less. Some asanas have been added to the Karate. Leg exercises increase the endurance levels of the lower and upper muscles. The more students practice kicks, punches, pads on top of each other, the more conditioning the body will get. Not just taking a hit, but when you hit, the effect is devastating. You may have seen breaking the wicket by hitting the leg. It’s not for show off. This is not possible without hardcore practice of karate.
