Karate is predominantly a striking art without any protective gear
Game in Brief:

Karate is a martial art that was developed in Japan. After being practiced historically in China, it returned to Japan in the early 20th century. Karate is now predominantly a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes etc. to deliver blows on the opponent. The competitors of Karate do not wear any protective gear.

Life Lessons:
  • In Karate, indecisiveness is viewed as a weakness. It delays the action and prevents the players from going with an ‘all-in’ attitude. This is a weakness not only in karate, but also in real life.
  • Karate is more of a self-defence without any weapon and without protective gear. In life problems occur when we least expect it, similar to being without weapon and protective gear. However, it is important not to bow down and face them with courage.
