Carmel Martial Arts

It is a common tradition in the Far East that Karate's roots started with a Royal Prince of India named Bodhidharma. This story is possibly refuted by modern historical record, but we make it required education due to its almost universal retelling. As the story goes, Bodhidharma studied military arts as a young man. In later life, his thinking and study in his Buddhist religion produced Zen Buddhism. He became a monk and traveled the perilous routes through the Himalyan Mountain passes into the country of China.
