histroy of katate

1-      Early history:

Karate is a Japanese word consisting of Kara that means fight, and Tie that means empty hand, empty from any weapon. And religious men took care of this new way and developed it. The Indian monk Bodhedrama has transferred this martial art to China when he flew from India to the Shaolin Temple in the South East of China. The Chinese martial arts moved during the late second century AD to Japan and became more sophisticated, so we find that this art went to Okinawa five centuries ago. The art of karate is not limited to a certain age, but it is suitable for all ages. Modern Karate is a good method to act in self-defense based on fitness and physical and mental powers without the use of weapons. Karate practitioners should have flexibility and muscle strength and speedy responses. This art extends to thought and develops it, and increases self-confidence, boldness, courage and also supports control of sensation and feeling among individuals.

First Reflection

After finishing our summary on desert police patrols, my teacher gave us lots of advice; such as – looking at the title of the passage, skimming for the main idea, and looking more closely at the opening and closing paragraphs. The teacher also advised us to omit all names of people and all the quotations of the passage. We were also told to look at the broad subject, not only the individual's role.

In our second summary, which is the first assessed task, we wrote about road accidents that became the biggest reason for child mortality in the UAE. The teacher kindly advised us to keep to a minimum figures and percentages since it was so important in this summary to present some facts. The high rates of accidents and mortality and low percentages of the usage of car seats by local car passengers are the major points of the summary.

In our third summary, which is the second assessed task, we discussed a new eco tour in waters off the Palm Jebel Ali, supporting a traditional diving experience for both locals and tourists. It was quite uncomplicated and we learned a lot from what we had done and got good scores. We think that the summary work has been fascinating and helpful for all of us.

Tour provides insight into pearl diving

The Aabian Gulf was of the largest natural diving economies in the world. Pearl diving was still in play in the UAE but faded away as less expensive pearls became commonplace. The last century-old Emirati hunt for the black pearl has not disappeared completely, to reconnect Emiratis and tourists with the once vibrant pearl-diving economy in the Gulf Emirates, the inaugural public tour aboard a traditional dhow has now been launched officially giving up to 20 paid guests a change to travel back in time and dive to the shallow ocean floor in search of their very own pearls. The proud tradition of pearl diving in the UAE may be gone but it’s certainly not forgotten, said major Suwaidi.  There was a pre-lunch dhow tour and pearling dive to a secluded protected cove where the media learned the merits of  fetching oysters from the sea bottom and once safe back on board, shucking the shelled creatures in search of naturally-grown pearls. The local pearl industry collapsed when Far East pearl farmers created the cultured pearls by manually inserting a foreign bead in each oyster to produce fine pearls cheaper than the Arabian pearl.

Road crashes main of child death in UAE

The traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among infants and responsible for 63 percent of deaths among children aged and under14 in UAE. The Ministry of Interior prohibits children younger than ten years from sitting in the front seat but some children continue to do so. The child safety car seat campaign is held annually to raise awareness of the the importance of child car seats. A small percentage of child passengers are restrained by car seats or seat belts. There are many large impacts on the traffic injury and death rate in Dubai.

 

 

The child car seat restraint can reduce risks; all children should sit in the back of the car. The most important thing is to check for the seat belt every month to see if it works OK or should be replaced by a new one to prevent accidents. We want people to think of the safety of people in cars is very important.
