Introduction
A large
number of people throughout the world practice karate in its competitive
or recreational form in schools and clubs. The motives that lead them to
this activity can be boiled down to the need for movement, socializing
with others, and competition. The fundamental reason and purpose for
practicing karate is to gain specific motor skills, a harmonious,
psychosomatic development, and for socializing competing.
By
training, the following aspect are allowed to develop:
-
Basic
situational motor skills,
-
Intellectual and functional abilities,
-
Specific structural character traits,
-
A value
system and motivation,
-
Micro
social adaptation.
It is
possible to practice karate as early as the age of six. With its
specific and dangerous fighting technique and its exceedingly
strict discipline with which the
authoritativeness develops,
karate is ideal for both
defense and attack
and
is therefore irreplaceable in the army
and police forces
throughout the
world.
Karate’s
philosophy, its attractiveness and content
have caused it to become the most popular of all of the martial
arts. The process of long-term training is not just in
practicing techniques. It is a pedagogical process of permanent raising
and it creates moral principles while balancing personal needs with the
interest of the society as a whole.
The key
principles of karate are:
-
Correct timing - using
the situations in which the opponent is the least prepared/weakest,
-
Maximal energy
concetration - using both all of
ones' mental
and physical power at the
same time,
-
Constant movement - in
order to disable the
opponents' successfully
organized attack while creating the ideal moments for
ones' attacks
and defense,
-
Physical and mental balance - the motor actions while fighting
follow a certain
psychological security,
-
Ethical principle - behavior in accordance with the correct sport
moral and within social norms.
The motor
skills are:
-
Speed - simple and complex motor reactions, the speed of one move as
a frequency of many consecutive moves, and fast
movements,
-
Coordination - the ability to follow and do fixed
tasks,
-
Strength - the ability for the muscles to overcome resistance with
static and dynamic contraction,
-
Flexibility - the ability to do moves with maximal
amplitude,
-
Precision - the ability to precisely determine the
direction and intensity of movement,
-
Balance - the ability to 'correct' the
influence of gravity and to overcome other forces
that may cause the body to be in an unstable position,
-
Stamina - not
to 'give in' and become tired.
As a sport, karate
is one
of the most complex as it requires a fast analysis of
large amounts of information, while at the same time a large
number of situational parameters should be compared, the opponents intentions
should be recognized, and the length of the 'fight'/contest during the competition predicted.
The activities in karate are very complicated so that
intellectual abilities are used as they are being learned.
Competitions are divided into
two primary groups:
-
Kumite (Karate combat) - two competitors compete
against one another in accordance with the judging rules,
-
Kata(s) - several attacks and blocks that follow a
precisely set pattern are executed against a set number of
imaginary opponents. Scenes from the animal world (cat, bear, bird)
are often taken.
