Karate: Come to learn Karate at Combined Martial Arts AcademyKarate is a martial art developed from indigenous fighting methods from the Ryukyu Islands, Chinese kempo, and classical Japanese martial arts. It is known primarily as a striking art, featuring punching, kicking, knee/elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques, but grappling, joint manipulations, locks, restraints/traps, throws, and vital point striking also appear. A karate practitioner is called a karateka. Modern karate training is commonly divided into kihon (basics or fundamentals), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring). Another popular division is between art, sport, and self-defense training. Karateka are encouraged to issue a loud kiai or "spirit shout" when executing techniques. Name of Instructors:
