How Karate Is Independence And Empowerment

339 Words2 Pages
“... Asian system of unarmed combat using the hands and feet to deliver and block ... widely practiced as a sport.” As google defines it. What does karate mean to me? To me karate is independence and empowerment. Independence comes from being able to defend yourself. Not having to rely on anyone. You are not worried if you are alone, because you know what need to happen in case of emergency. For instance, if you were attacked on the street you would not be the dimsdale in distress crying for help. Instead you would be what they least expected, a mighty fighting girl. Empowerment also comes from karate. Feeling confident and independent makes you feel empowered. Karate made me gain some confidence that I needed. Made me realise my true potential.
