What is karate used for? What are the taboos in karate?

Karate achieves the role of fitness and self-defense through physical exercises, and also improves people's cultivation through etiquette.

Karate competition is to use fists and feet to strive for victory, and then to achieve a situation beyond victory and defeat, is to hone the spirit, physique, technique, truth, goodness, beauty of the dynamic Zen way. Through unremitting training and strict and arduous competition, we will master advanced self-protection skills and develop a strong body and a sound spirit.

Karate pays special attention to etiquette, emphasizes the self-cultivation of the player, and adheres to the unique principle of "inch", specifically, it does not aim to knock down the opponent, but to control oneself, and win through skill rather than by hurting the opponent, that is, "I can hit you, but I will not hurt you". For example, in kumite competitions, the blow to the head is stopped at a point, and when you hit the opponent at high speed, you must suddenly stop the opponent only one centimeter from the opponent's head, and at most you can only touch the opponent lightly, which is called "inch-stop".

In addition to this, karate, like other oriental martial arts, has a standard etiquette requirement. When an athlete enters the stadium, he or she bows to the field, the referee, the coach, the opponent, and sometimes the spectators, who respond with applause. After the game, the athlete still has to salute the opponent, the referee, the coach, and the venue.

Karate is the skillful application of fists, feet, the principle of victory and defeat, and then to achieve a situation beyond victory and defeat, is to hone the spirit, physique, technique, truth, goodness, beauty of the dynamic Zen way. Through unremitting training, strict and arduous competition, mastering advanced self-protection skills, cultivating a strong body and a sound spirit, and working hard to practice with confidence and courage, so as to make a positive contribution to the justice, peace and development of human society, we can indeed make a certain degree of contribution.
