Karate can be described as a martial art that makes use of hands, feet, elbows, knees, and other body parts as tools of self-defense. A variety of techniques includes blocks, strikes, evasions, throws, and joint manipulations. 

Karate practice is divided into 3 aspects: Kihon (basics), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring).


The word karate is a combination of two Japanese characters: 空  (kara), meaning  "empty", and 手 (te), meaning "hand", thus, karate means "empty hand".

For children, learning the art of karate has many advantages.  Through his teaching experience, Sensei Verzotti has learned that all children are unique and benefit in different ways.

Apart from being an excellent form of self-defense, karate improves fitness, strength, flexibility, and general conditioning.  Karate requires a high level of mental discipline and may help to improve a child’s focus and concentration.
