Karate /k&-'rä-tE/ n. a Japanese form of unarmed combat
using the hands and feet as weapons. It involves training of the mind as well as
the body and seeks to concentrate the body's power at the point of impact. Modern
karate is a product of the 20th century, but its roots are ancient. [Japanese from
kara empty + te hand]
Somerset Karate teaches a style of karate called
Tsuen-Mo-Luen (pronounced Tsin-Moo-Lin) which incorporates elements from a number of
martial arts. It was founded in Hong Kong by Grandmaster Lam Wun Sun, and introduced to the
UK by Ian Stoddern (see History).
