Karate Atlanta

It may seem that practicing the same footwork patterns over and over again is pointless, but it serves an important purpose. Likewise, kata teaches students valuable lessons in patience and technique. Practitioners have found that lessons learned in karate help them in their everyday lives, as they learn patience and the importance of repetition. While karate in its modern form did not originate 400 years ago, unarmed combat was gaining in prominence on Okinawa and the lessons learned here eventually took root in Japanese culture.
