Karate is a martial art developed from indigenous Japanese and Chinese fighting methods and has been taught in the UK since the 1950s and 1960s.  It uses punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques. Karate can be practiced as an art, a sport or as self defence. It places emphasis on self development, perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, leadership skills, exercise and, in some cases, competition.

Kickboxing originated in the 1960s and is a hybrid martial art formed from various elements of traditional styles of Karate, Muay Thai and western boxing. It is often practiced for self defence, general fitness or as a contact sport.
