what is karate

[Flying Tiger]

I know I am just itching for a major fight here, but I am doing a BIG project for my english class and would like to know what general principals does karate, basic mentality, ect. I already have a good idea of what it is, but please explain it to me as if I am a complete idiot. I also understand there is a nearly unlimited number of styles, so please bear with me and answer the question.

 

Thank you very much

To be honest its not an easy question to answer im afraid.

 

A good one to ask though. Perhaps it might be better if you expand your questons a little?

 

There are ppl here who could give you a disertation based on that question? How much detail are you looking for etc:
