Karate: Art Or Sport?

Evokes the mystical essence of karate by juxtaposing the harsh, rapid movements and sounds of this highly discipline sport against the open, placid beauty of open countryside. Six blackbelts demonstrate body discipline, practice feints and strokes, break boards with the bare fist, and perform choreographed exercises. A narrator discusses the historical, philosophical and psychological background of karate.
