karate or not karate

One may also consider, though, that the martial arts were designed to fight persons who were of a specific style and also of a specific mindset of fighting. Karate was used against a person on horseback as well as on foot, and Shaolin Kung Fu was used to protect the monks from bandits. Each style has techniques which are suited against certain opponents. As the martial arts progressed, there became a need to make new moves to counter-act other opponents, but the core Kata were used for a specific attacker, I think.

 

If anyone has more information on this, please share, I could be wrong.
