`The ultimate purpose of Karate is to develop the better features of the human character rather than merely

strengthen the human being against physical enemies.`

 GOYARAU KARATE

Karate or karate-do was introduced to the Japanese main islands from Okinawa in 1922. Karate emphasizes striking techniques

(i.e. punching and kicking, knee/elbow strikes and open hand techniques) however, grappling, joint manipulations, throwing and vital

point striking are inherent in the finer points of the kata.

Basic Karate & Boxing are the first training stages in GOYARARU

Generally, Karate training can be divided into three major areas;

1. • Basics:-the study of the fundamental moves - the basic components, required to perform the art.
   
2. • Kata:-'form', is a series of fixed set of movements and techniques, linked together by the principles that the kata.
   
3. • Freestlye:- is 'sparring' and develops from well-defined kata to open sparring.
