Modern Karate was developed from two different martial arts. First, the indigenous Ryukyu Islands martial arts called “Te” (Hand). Second, from the Chinese martial art of Kempo. A karateka is a karate practitioner. Bando Kickboxing is the modern, sports form of kickboxing of Lethwei. Nicknamed in Europe “Burmese boxing of four arms”.
