Everything you need to know about karate
Karate WKF Android is a fantastic sports app that offers a great digital encyclopedia covering all things karate. Therefore, it is an extraordinary informative resource, both for karatekas and for all those who are approaching this martial art for the first time.
A Brief Guide to the Way of the Empty Hand
Although Karate WKF APK is not an official app, it does have the seal of the World Karate Federation, so you can be sure that the data it collects is accurate and comprehensive. Its contents are organized into the following categories:
- Home (including information on the history of Karate, salutes and how to tie a belt).
- Body weapons.
- Positions.
- Hand strikes.
- Kicks.
- Blocks and defenses.
- Katas divided by schools (Goju Ryu, Shito Ryu, Shotokan and Wado Ryu).
- Combat or kumite.
- Competition rules.
- Falls.
- Terminology and English-Japanese dictionary.
- References (YouTube videos of important championships).
- Photos.
As a database, the information it includes is very valuable. In addition, each section is illustrated with photos and drawings. Another very interesting detail is that each kata leads to a YouTube video.
Useful for people who love Karate-do and martial arts.
Download Karate WKF for free for a fascinating tool with tons of practical information. However, there is a lot of room for improvement. First of all, the interface is somewhat outdated and the content layout could be clearer. Also, there is hardly any text, so as an encyclopedia it is a bit lame. And that's without taking into account that the contents focus more on competitive karate than on traditional karate as a martial art.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.0.
