Karate Westchester Karate Westchester: White Plains, New Rochelle, Yonkers
Karate originated from Shaolin Kung Fu in China via the Okinawan Islands and was modernized in the 20 century by Funakoshi Sensei. A
typical Karate class may include stretching and basic exercises. One then moves on to practice katas or forms, perhaps an application or two
in some classes and then a competitive match. One studies the katas to learn “the secrets” that one might discover for oneself, and develop
skills for self defense. Karate emphasizes powerful strikes designed to disable an attacker initially, and then later teaches how to control the
attacker without harm. Generally, the emphasis in Karate is external (hard) power, as opposed to the internal (soft) power from Tai Chi.
Karate uses a broad variety of weapons to complement empty handed practice. Modern styles of Karate may include Shotokan, Goju, etc.
Exercise is often aerobic.
