History of Karate
After the Second World War, Okinawa became a substantial military base for the United States, whose soldiers discovered the sport of Karate there. They brought it back to their home country, thereby initiating global sports spreading.
Like other martial arts, Karate is a combat sport with an undeniable physical aspect, but it also focuses on self-discipline, mental health, and self-development.
Travelling for Karate Training
- Where to Go. If you are looking for the most authentic karate experience, Jis is the place to go. Okinawa is the birthplace of Karate, and many dojos (schools) offer traditional training. Other countries with solid traditions include China, Korea, and Thailand.
- What to look for in a Dojo. When choosing a Dojo, consider your experience level and your training goals. Some dojos are more traditional and focus on self-defence. Others are more competitive and focus on sports like Karate. You may also want to consider the size of the dojo size and the instructor's qualifications to prepare. Before you go, it is a good idea to contact the Dojo where you are interested in training and let them know you are coming. You may want to also brush up on your Japanese Karate terminology, especially if you are planning a trip to Japan.
Pre Existing Medical Conditions
If you have participated in Karate before and may have had an injury or accident while participating in Judo, you must declare this when purchasing a policy.
We have several providers who can offer travel insurance, including Karate and if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
