Karate for you

Karate is fragmented into many different forms or schools. Although many of these forms only differ very slightly from each other, a few do differ in significant ways - such as the use of circular blocks (which sweep the attacking limb out of the way) or linear blocks (which meet the attacking limb directly with the intent of damaging it).

This website provides information about the Seattle-based International Karate Federation dojo, the Feminist Karate Union. FKU has been teaching martial arts and self-defense to women and children in the Seattle area since 1971.

The "Martial Arts Friends" web site is designed to help people of all martial arts get to know each other on a more personal level than possible on online discussion groups and web sites. The personal profile pages allow individuals to present their martial arts background, as well as other dimensions of their life, such as family, career, interests, endeavors, philosopy, etc. This is also a "community" so that people will be able to interact with each other, conducting dialogue publicly or privately. This is a community that will continue to evolve, based on needs and desires.
