wagnerk Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This is my understanding of the terms:Karate: Translated from Japanese means the "Way of the empty hand", before that it meant "Chinese hand" or "Tang hand" but was changed to gain acceptance in Japan. Karate-do: Is the "path to self-knowledge" or self-developmentKarate-jutsu: Is the "Science" or "Method" of karateKarate-ka: One who practices karateIn my opinion, when one practices "Karate" should be both "Do" and "Jutsu" and stay away from the awful debate that keeps on going round of Do vs Jutsu which just (in the end) gives a negative view on both sides of the same coin Tang Soo Do: 3rd Dan '18Shotokan Karate: 2nd Dan '04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Do" is "path" or "way", so that makes "karate-do" closer to "way of empty hand".

bushido_man96 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think that most Karate is Karate-do. Some choose to use it on the end, and some don't. "Do" tends to put the emphasis on the "way of life" aspect that many attribute to practicing the Eastern Martial Arts, hence why some choose to emphasize it. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Karate-do is about attitude. Either one does "karate" to just do it, or one does "karate" as a way of life!! **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
