mentally. It is widely spoken of as not a sport but on the contrary it
is very much a sport. Thru the many training exercises you get as big a
workout as if you were playing basketball.
Karate teaches self discipline and respect. Many parents fear that
by enrolling there child in karate the child will become a bully.
However, statistics show that children in karate actually respect all
people they meet and protect them from bullying. You will also learn
that you will become more organized so if you need help being

physical fitness.
Karate teaches you to avoid all thugs that can harm you physically
and mentally such as drug and stranger danger as well as improper use

a wide spread idea that karate is strict and only for the middle-aged
people that can focus long enough. However, karate is for everyone and
