Karate, literally translated as "empty hand", is one of the oldest and most effective means of fighting known to man. It is considered to be the ultimate in unarmed self-defense. The practice of Karate consists of learning blocking, shifting, punching, striking, and kicking. Although it can be aggressive, it is instructed and practiced by most groups as an effective counteraction to an attack.
