The bressuira club offers traditional karate education. Open for everyone from 7 years old, this sport, which requires concentration, flexibility and precision, is an excellent way to make sport by working as well. Like many martial arts, karate practice is based on Buddhist and meditative designs. Here, the "empty hands" or "naked hands" (translation of the word karate) have everything to do with the "release taken" and the idea of putting a distance between itself and its worries. Karate is also based on respiration, like yoga. The practice of this type of sport will allow you to stay fit but also to open up to yourself.
