Karate For Humanity

I have studied Shotokan Karate for the last serval years. even though I am an advanced student with a green belt, I realized that I do not know very much about the history of this amazing martial art. in this project, I hope to share with you what I learned about who created Shotokan Karate, where it began, how it came to the United States and what makes it different from other martial arts. The History of Shotokan Karate Gichin Funakoshi was born in 1868 in Okinawa, an island in Japan. At the age of 11, Gichin Funakoshi became friends with the son of Yasutsune Azato who was a great Karate master. Gichin was a weak and unhealthy boy, but he became stronger the more he learned about his karate master, Yasutsune Itosu. Each teacher taught him a different Okinawan martial arts. when he became an adult , he combined the best of both martial arts to make and teach Shotokan karate.​

Diversity And Anti-Discrimination

Equality, diversity and non discrimination are fundamental ingredients of the European idea, but have been mixed up in different ways along the years. Concerning equality, the original recipe prescribed the Aristotelian principle of formal equality, according to which “things that are alike should be treated alike” and differences among people should be deemed irrelevant. This approach proved inadequate to tackle all forms discriminations and did not take into account the fact that the equal application of rules to different groups or individuals can produce unequal results.

Medical

To provide the knowledge and skill for protecting the health of female and male players of all ages and levels as well as for promoting Karate as a key tool in public health. The most basic step is to start with warm-up and stretches. So that at very first place do not get any injuries while practicing Karate and participating in tournaments. Then correct nutrition and diet must be part of every athlete ‘s regime, such that they are internally strong and develop strong immune system. Strength training must be inculcated so that karateka develop strong muscles and tendons. Practicing techniques with ‘kiai’ help athletes to develop strong stamina and powerful body. Every aspect must be taken care of and must be emphasised so that karateka develop as overall healthy being. At the tournaments instant medical help is available to tackle any emergency medical situation. And traditional techniques such as deep breathing is suggested to athletes in case of minor injury. **(Further UDSA has introduced medical insurance for athletes who get severely injured.)
