Karate 'Empty Hand' Necklace
Karate: Karate literally means 'Empty Hand' in Japanese. It is a symbol revered throughout the martial arts community as it is in essence what martial arts stands for. The 'empty hand' is a sign of non-agression but when forced to defend, the 'empty hand' is transformed into a lethal weapon. Karate is believed to have developed on the Island of Okinawa in Japan but it's roots can be traced back to China and Kung Fu. Karate can be divided into three elements: kihon (basics), kata (forms) and kumite (sparring). Honor the tradition that is Karate with our Karate 'Empty Hand' necklace.
