It developed from the indigenous martial arts of Ryukyu Islands (called te, literally \"hand\"; tii in Okinawan) under the influence of Chinese martial arts, particularly Fujian White Crane. Karate is now predominantly a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands, and palm-heel strikes. Historically and in some modern styles grappling, throws, joint locks, restraints, and vital point strikes are also taught. A karate practitioner is called a karateka. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Deciding to embark on a new hobby can be extremely daunting, perhaps even more so with something as physically demanding as a Martial Art.
