Foremost, allow me to share to you this entry for this week's contest on Color Palette, featuring the color "White".

White, generally suggests, purity. Thus, the picture depicted herein are my teammates together with my father, our teacher, wearing the white Kimono for today's session.

So, to give you a hint, this was originated in Japan.

And yes, you're right. This sport is Karate-do, the way of the empty hands. This has been adapted in the Philippines since the early 90's and has been prevalent up to this time.

Karate-do has several styles, such as : Shotokan Ryu, Shorin Ryu, Shiro Ryu, and Wadu Ryu. Among these styles, Shotokan Ryu is the style mostly adapted and used in the Philippines. In this style, it is a combination of hands and feetwork, consisting of stances, blockings, kickings and punchings. From these arise the two categories of Karate, to wit: ****Kumite (Sparring) and Kata**** (Exhibition).**1. **

Various school and community trainings and tournaments were held in the Philippines to equip students of Karate and to test their learnings.

In Kata, participants will take each other's time to perform their chosen exhibition,in front of the judges, who will grade them based on their power and accuracy. Kumite, on the otherhand, is an actual sparring where just like boxing, opponents attach each other by punching, kicking or combination thereof hitting the marke where corresponding points are given.

Over all, Karatedo may seem to be easy upon first glance, but it is an arduous task as a self defense and a sport, it requires discipline, courage, courtesy, integrity,humility and self control. It is because more than being a physical training, it aims to achieve holistic development to every student of karate. Because, the strength we exert must come from a pure and sincere heart, as reflected in its white gi.

This sport has been my first and only love. It builds my character and this is Karate.
