Karate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Karate is a <strong>martial art that originated in<\/strong> Okinawa, Japan, in the 19th century. It was developed by Okinawan peasants who were prohibited from carrying weapons. Therefore, they developed a form of self-defense that used their hands and feet as weapons. Karate was introduced to Japan in the early 20th century and eventually spread to other parts of the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Meaning_of_Karate\"><\/span>The Meaning of Karate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Karate means &#8220;empty hand&#8221; in Japanese. The term &#8220;empty hand&#8221; refers to the fact that karate practitioners rely on their own physical strength and skill, rather than weapons, to defend themselves.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Different_Styles_of_Karate\"><\/span>The Different Styles of Karate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are many different styles of karate, each with its own unique techniques and philosophy.
