Caracterización del Karate-Do

Abstract

In the present article, we propose some characteristics of Karate- do, and particularly the aspects related to Kumite (combat). The materials consulted show that there is not deep knowledge about this sport, and that the information related with it is not systematic. The characteristics presented in this paper cover important aspects such as: psychological, physical and technical training, as well as the physiological, biochemical and biomechanic components that take place during Karate- do trainings.
