KARATE AS SELF DEFENSE

With the success of Cobrai Kai on Youtube and Netflix, the question was raised whether Karate is good for Self Defense. The answer is both intriguing and simple.

Perhaps you were not aware that Karate is one of the martial arts styles deeply rooted in Krav Maga, the art of real life self-defense. As you know, in real life, it is very easy to be a victim of an attack.

When comparing Krav Maga with other martial arts such as Karate, Jiu-Jitsu or Kickboxing (given the training time) – Krav Maga wins hands down – not because Krav Maga is better. Only because you are learning skill from all types of Martial Arts. Let’s look at Karate for Real Life Self Defense.

KARATEKA

When I think of Karate, I think of a fully trained Karateka – a.k.a. a Karate practitioner, skilled with rigid footwork, the ability to hold low and well-grounded stances, and agility to produce super-fast movements. A Karateka also has perfectly-timed reflexes, and the ability to avoiding strikes and of course, landing the counter ones.
