In historical terms, the martial art of Karate was most influenced by the chinese fist arts, although the origins of Karate can be traced back to the first Olympic Games in 776 B.C. which included an event called the 'Pankration', a form of unarmed combat involving punching, kicking and throwing.
Karate-do as we know it today follows that art of unarmed combat developed on the island of Okinawa, which was invaded by the Japanese in the early part of the 17th Century.The invasion included a ban on all weapons, and consequently the islanders, learning unarmed combat techniques from Chinese experts on the island, developed the unique Okinawan Karate - the art of training the hands and feet as lethal weapons.

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth". The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. The Northern Ireland Karate-Do Wado-Kai enjoys the instruction from the highest qualified karate Practitioner in Ireland.
