Worldwide, people of all ages, races, and physical abilities practice karate, a Japanese martial art with roots in Zen Buddhism.

Respect and courtesy are integral parts of the martial art, and students learn respect for themselves, others, and the world at large. With clear step-by-step explanations and photographs, this guide teaches basic techniques, exercises, and stances and stepping. It also includes sections on kata, which is detailed choreographed patterns of movements and kumite, which is sparring.
