1. Is karate good for children
Practicing karate is very beneficial to children.

1.3. Long term karate practice can give good stimulation to the brain.

1.4. Karate can exercise children’s adaptability to the environment, let children overcome psychological inertia, and temper strong willpower. When children encounter difficulties, they can have strong coping ability.
2. How old can a child learn karate
Boys are generally recommended to be over 4 years old. Some Taoist schools recruit people over 3 years old, that is, they can start to learn karate at the age of 3-5. However, most of the young children do not have any stereotypes, and they still need parents to insist and encourage them.
Karate requires a solid foundation to cultivate children’s self-confidence and etiquette. Although boys in their teens and 20s learn late and need to work hard in ligaments, boys at this stage have strong absorption ability and learn faster than ordinary boys. Therefore, there is no saying that karate is suitable for any age. The key is to persist, work hard and not give up.
3. The historical origin of karate
The origin of karate is closely related to Chinese martial arts. Early karate was called “Tang hand”, which shows China’s influence on karate. According to records, karate was first evolved from the combination of Ryukyu traditional fighting technique “hand” and Chinese Southern Boxing and Shaolin boxing. Later, it was introduced into Japan from Ryukyu (Okinawa).
Taekwondo originated from the traditional fighting skill of ancient Korea. General Cui Hongxi, the founder of Taekwondo, once obtained the black belt qualification in Japan’s karate Songtao hall. After returning home, he combined with local martial arts and founded Taekwondo with the promotion of the government. Later, due to special historical reasons, it was divided into two organizations, ITF and WTF. The style difference was gradually obvious.
Training methods of karate skills
1. Hanging paper
Ordinary newspapers should be cut into 16 folios or 32 folios, which should not be too large. The two corners are hoisted with ropes, suspended in the air and at the same height as the chest. If you hit it with a straight fist or a hand knife, it will be successful if the fist reaches the paper and the palm reaches the paper. If the paper breaks into holes and the paper breaks into even fractures, it will not count if the paper is torn and smashed by brute force. After success, change to thinner paper until you use extremely thin copy paper and tissue paper to achieve the above effect.
2. Lifting plate
The initial practice can fix both sides, and after the power is smooth, you can let the board hang in the air, which will further test your power.
3. Floating plate
When floating the wood in the water, it is difficult to find the strength point of the wood. If you use brute force, the water will only splash everywhere, so it needs a strong explosive force (inch force) to break the wood floating in the water.
4. Lighting candles
Strike the candle with the fist or hand knife, control the distance, and extinguish the candle with the fist style. This training is to strengthen the cohesion and penetration of strength.
5. Sandbag shooting
Patting sandbags can enhance the strength of the muscles and orthopaedics of the palm and increase the lethality. At the beginning of practicing patting sandbags, you can put grains such as mung beans in the bag, and then slowly move to iron sand. You can put an appropriate amount of bone penetrating grass and pepper in the bag to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
What are the precautions in karate
1. When receiving instructions from the coach on the training ground, you should immediately react and take action.
Don’t waste time. Don’t do fight practice without a coach.
Leave the queue without the coach’s permission. Don’t walk between the coach and the lineup when you leave? You should leave after the arrangement.
2. The second taboo in karate practice is to respect the title of a coach, such as a teacher.
3. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew gum in the ashram.
4. When entering or leaving the ashram, you must salute to the ashram, which symbolizes respect for the ashram and its students.
5. When you enter the dojo late, you should kneel at the back of the dojo and face the rear. You can’t stand until the coach allows you to enter, and then salute in front.
6. When the coach speaks to you, answer loudly.
Practice is a very serious matter. During this period, you should be absolutely attentive. You should not talk or laugh, or harass other students. If there is no instruction, wait for the instruction in a “standing still” posture.
