Karate is more than just an
art of self-defence in
times
of trouble. It builds character and
keeps its
exponents in shape. In karate, individuals learn to
control their minds and
bodies, replacing
aggression with tolerance, and pride with humility.
They also
learn that fighting is always the
last resort in
solving a
conflict. Karate instils
an iron-clad discipline,
tutoring
exponents to stretch their tolerance and humility
to
levels
beyond their normal sphere
of experience.
Without
the discipline, an exponent
soon learns, one cannot
master the martial art.
Unfortunately, there are
many misconceptions about
karate. Most of
this misunderstanding
results from the violent shows
on
television or on the big screen.
Due to all these
movies, karate has now
become misused through a lack of understanding of
its
basic principles. |
