Karate was initially created for self-defense if trained and used as originally intended. There are many techniques, moves, and mental skills taught in karate that will help you be successful in a real-life self-defense situation.this statement is valid only if you train and use karate the traditional way. Today, many styles have evolved into a sport with very specific rulesets that are unsuitable for real fights and can be detrimental.

Another thing you must understand before we continue is that there are different styles of karate that come from the same foundation but have vastly different approaches. So we can’t just view karate as a single entity and determine its effectiveness for self-defense.
