What kind of fighting skill is karate?

The basic offensive techniques of karate are divided into hand skills and foot skills. Hand skills are playing and hitting, and foot skills are kicking. Boxing is divided into boxing, flat boxing, finger boxing and palm boxing. Beating is divided into punching, split palm, flat palm and arm. Kicking is divided into toe kick, sole kick, heel kick, side kick and knee bump kick. There are also techniques such as head strike and shoulder strike. According to the changes of the opponent's body posture and movements, athletes use the above basic attack techniques to attack the opponent's head, face, neck, chest, abdomen, back and other parts, but are not allowed to contact the opponent's body directly. Hitting and kicking can take the form of straight line, spiral and arc. Strike can be divided into one-handed strike and two-handed strike, and kick also includes one-legged kick and two-legged take-off kick. These complicated strokes, punches and kicks are intertwined, which constitutes a clever offensive technique. In view of the above various attack methods, there are also various defense methods, such as arc defense, rotation defense, cross defense, split palm defense, cross defense and so on. Karate competitions are divided into individual competitions and team competitions. During the competition, 1 referee was on the court, and 4 referees were performing referee work in the four corners of the court. Athletes wear karate clothes (the same as judo clothes), barefoot, with a red belt on one side and a white belt on the other. The venue is 8m× 8m. The competition time is generally 2 minutes. Anyone who hits or kicks the opponent's face, neck, chest, abdomen, back and other parts within 2 minutes (without touching, keeping a certain distance) is judged to be correct and effective by the referee, and scores 1 point, which means victory. If you don't hit or kick the designated position, you will be judged according to your skill, spirit and attitude. Serious offenders will be disqualified from the competition. Karate is a combination of ancient fighting techniques 500 years ago and boxing techniques introduced from China. At that time, in the high society of sulfur ball, China's boxing was secretly referenced, creating a unique Tang-style player, that is, the original "karate". Before the Tang Dynasty, there were two names, Naha Hand and Shouli Hand, which, according to regional differences, became the origin of various schools of karate today.
