Karate is not just a martial art. Many associate karate with wrestling and fighting. But anyone who has taken at least one karate class knows that it teaches character discipline, modesty, camaraderie, and tradition-keeping, as well as the ability to take hits, both physical and mental. There are karate styles that require engagement from an early age. But there are also those that you can join as an adult. Karate can teach you the necessary self-defense, but also to overcome problems in real life.
