My favourite sport is karate. It is also called martial arts. The meaning of Karate is self-defence fighting with no weapons. Karate is a popular sport in the world. Most of the practices in karate originated from China, Japan and Korea. There are many levels in Karate. They are white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, brown, red and black. Bruce Lee is the most famous martial artist in the world.
Karate is a very good sport for the well-being of students. It improves self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline and it decreases tension, anxiety and depression. I like Karate very much. I practise it every week in school. The skills and the fitness I gain through practice of Karate helps me to survive in the world.
