Mortal Karate

Where exactly Karate was born and who invented it are data that are lost in the mists of time; it is only known with precision that it is a martial art, born of the need to defend oneself, using as the only weapons, the natural ones with which we have been endowed by mother nature; arms and legs, which, through special forms of training, become unique combat elements, to attack vulnerable points of the human being.Karate means in its literal translation, "empty hand"; had its cradle in Asia, where the traditional patience and observation technique, made of something non-existent a true science of the art of self defense; Such science was the secret heritage of family clans that jealously passed on from generation to generation, their extraordinary knowledge. Hence, Karate, although the same deep down, has different projections depending on where it is learned.To present it to my readers, in this modest treatise, I have compiled the most assimilable phases of this sport, in which sagacity, intelligence and cunning, rather than brute force, are determining factors. I consider and recommend Karate as the ideal sport for today's youth, since one of its healthy sporting performances is to provide its practitioners with a strong, agile body, resistant to all kinds of fatigue and efforts, creating a healthy and tenacious mind., in addition to a vigorous spirit of improvement.
