Karate technique

Karate is a martial art that originated in Japan. This martial art is slightly influenced by the kenpō Chinese martial art. Karate was brought into Japan via Okinawa and began to flourish in the Ryukyu Islands. This martial art was first called "Tote" meaning "Chinese hand." When karate entered Japan, Japanese nationalism was at its height, so Sensei Gichin Funakoshi changed the Okinawan (Chinese Tote) kanji in Japanese kanji To 'karate' (Hand Empty) to be more readily accepted by Japanese society.Karate consists of two kanji.The first is 'Kara' and means 'empty' And second, 'te' means 'hand' .Two kanji Together means "empty hands"
