	FIGHTING KARATE ROMA - SHINSEIKAI FULL CONTACT KARATE ITALIA
		Per Fighting Karate si intendono tutti quegli stili di Karate che praticano il combattimento "Full Contact" (a pieno contatto).
		La differenza di questo tipo di Karate con quello piu' conosciuto in Italia e' la possibilita' durante le competizioni sportive di mettere Knock out l'avversario con tecniche di calci che possono colpire dalle gambe fino alla testa e con tecniche di pugno ammesse solo al di sotto del viso.
		Da allora anche il Fighting Karate si e' evoluto modernizzandosi sui metodi di allenamento, ma lasciando inalterato lo spirito : dedizione e preparazione atletica sono elementi comuni che dovrebbero avere tutti i praticanti di Full Contact Karate.

	Karate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Karate is a mixture of indigenous Okinawan fighting arts, and empty handed Chinese fighting arts, brought to Okinawa by political envoys, merchants and sailors from Fujian Province.
		Full contact karate includes Kyokushin-kaikan which was founded by Masutatsu Oyama and other offshoots of Kyokushin, so-called because emphasis in matches is placed on the amount of damage done rather than the quality of technique displayed (although this is also important).
		It would be accurate to say that the biggest boost to the popularization of karate in America came with the American military occupation of Japan and Okinawa after World War II; once American soldiers had assimilated the discipline, they returned to the States and began to disseminate it.
