What is Karate?
“Karate’s purpose extends beyond self-defence, offering life guidance and promoting self-control through the commitment to disciplined practice”
Late Soke Inoue-ha
Karate is a traditional Japanese martial art that emphasises striking techniques, self-defence, and personal growth. Originating in Okinawa, it combines elements of indigenous fighting styles with Chinese influences.
Karate training focuses on kata (forms), kumite (sparring), and kihon (fundamental techniques), fostering physical fitness, mental discipline, and self-confidence.
Recognised worldwide, karate practitioners strive for self-improvement, respect, and harmony, making it a popular choice for people of all ages and skill levels.
Sensei Nabil Fanous established Elevate Martial Arts Academy with the aim of promoting Inoue-Ha Shito-Ryu Karate and fostering an appreciation for this particular martial art style.
In addition to sharing the extensive technical knowledge contained within the various techniques and principles guiding Inoue-Ha, Elevate Martial Arts Academy also emphasises its application and practicality, bridging the gap between theory and execution.
The focus of training at Elevate Martial Arts Academy is on technique rather than relying solely on brute strength, making it suitable for most people to learn.
