Question

Is karate an interesting and good sport?

Answer 1

AWESOME!!! great calorie burners!

Answer 2

In my opinion, yes. For me, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and other martial arts are interesting and good sports.

I love watching a martial art competition. ^__^

Do you?

Answer 3

Absolutely, and it one of the few sports you can practice the rest of your life. It can be rewarding on many levels. It can be used for fitness, spiritual development, mental fitness, and self defense. How many sports can do all that?

I have to chide Katana a little.  I apologise in advance .Admit it can be fun to spar?

Answer 4

my opinion,

karate is a good sport  

Answer 5

Yes, but I don't consider it a sport unless you're doing it as a sport.  Once you classify it that way you are limiting yourself to everything martial arts can be.  There is so much more to it than getting points or winning trophies.

Answer 6

its pretty interesting

Answer 7

I wouldn't know, I don't train sport karate. I train traditional Okinawan karate and I find it very interesting. Sport karate and the Dojo's that practice it I just find humorous.

Sifu frank i understand what your saying, but I don't care for point sparring. It's a contest of who gets there faster regerdless of whether a technique would have actually caused damage or not. I am of the opinion you will fight the way you train.

Answer 8

Yes it's intresting because you learn cool moves and yes it's a good sport because you can learn defense and attack moves.

(I take Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Kung Fu)
