Abstract

Karate is characterized by the dynamics of movements, which is especially pointed out through the actions of attack and defense, while the static situation during the match is almost nonexistent. Many characteristic movements, primarily strokes that are strictly defined technical way of performance, are performed at maximum speed and precision. Only if made in the foregoing, the judges scored them, which results in the victory of one of the karate players. Karate is different from other martial arts because of the duration of the fight.
