{"id":14,"count":70,"description":"Karate, a prominent martial art originating from Japan, boasts a rich tapestry of techniques that serve both as self-defense mechanisms and means for personal development. These techniques are broadly categorized into stances (Tachi-waza), which form the foundation of a practitioner's balance and movement; strikes (Uchi-waza), which encompass hand and arm techniques like punches and knifehand strikes; kicks (Keri-waza), which utilize the legs to deliver powerful blows; and defense and blocking methods, designed to ward off and counter attacks. Additionally, \"kata\" or forms, represent choreographed sequences of movements, embodying the principles and applications of various techniques in a flowing manner. Mastery of these techniques requires not only physical prowess but also mental discipline, making Karate a holistic approach to self-improvement and combat proficiency.","link":"https:\/\/www.dojoscore.com\/karate-techniques\/","name":"Karate Techniques","slug":"karate-techniques","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dojoscore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/14"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dojoscore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dojoscore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dojoscore.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
