[Fun Facts] Literal meaning of Karate

I was at work reading some martial arts facts and came across facts on the history of Karate. Click here to view that web page. I think I’ll use this for a end of the week martial arts fun facts; here’s the literal translation according the the web page I was reading:

“empty hands”

If you are unfamiliar with Karate, here’s the wiki link to get you started:

As I mentioned, this will continue at the end of the week, likely on Friday or Saturday to keep martial arts on the mind while you’re out having a BBQ. As always, all my referenced articles can be found in my “References” section if you simply want to continue learning about the arts.
