We all train for various reasons: physical health, personal/spiritual improvement, or any other reason beyond just learning how to fight. Karate is a fighting art, however, and the primary purpose for its development was to provide the practitioner with an effective means of unarmed self-defense. This means being able to apply what you learn in the dojo to protect yourself and others from violence on the street.

Knowing these two things will greatly enhance your ability to apply your training should the need arise. After all, what is the point of studying karate if you can't use it?
