Karate began in China as forms of Kung Fu and then migrated through the Okinawan Islands to mainland Japan.
Funakoshi Sensei was known as the father of modern Karate (Shotokan). The emphasis is learning to incapacitate
an attacker from the outset. When one becomes uncomfortable with the destructive capacity accrued and wishes to
learn to control rather than injure the attacker, the emphasis in instruction is changed. In this sense, Karate ultimately
targets the same goal as Tai Chi, the building of one's character, but utilizes an expedient to build one's self
confidence in the ability to protect themselves.

Karate emphasizes blocking and counterstriking via punches and kicks. The method of training includes katas, or
forms, and competition. Some wrist locks and self defense techniques may be taught, but are not emphasized. The
movements are linear, forward/backward and side to side. Competition is one on one and limited by rules.
