 About Karate
 

Karate can be described as a martial art, or fighting method, involving a variety of techniques including blocks, strikes, evasions, throws, and joint manipulations.

Karate practice is divided into three aspects: kihon (basics), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring). The word karate is a combination of two Japanese characters: kara, meaning empty, and te, meaning hand; thus, karate means "empty hand."

Adding the suffix "-do" (pronounced "doe"), meaning "way," i.e., karate-do, implies karate as a total way of life that goes well beyond the self-defense applications. In traditional karate-do, we always keep in mind that the true opponent is oneself.

To teach at a PCYC in NSW karate instructors must have as a minimum level of qualifications a current National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) Level 1 Karate. The NCAS is administered by the Australian Sports Commission, and the Level 1 Karate course is delivered by the Australian Karate Federation.
