The origins of karate and its evolution as a sport are described. Karate injuries tend to occur in three main areas: the head and neck, the viscera, and the limbs. Effective legislation controlling karate, which could help prevent injuries, is lacking at the moment and should be established. Recommendations for the prevention of injury include the introduction of weight classes, mandatory provision of protective equipment such as padded flooring, and the outlawing of certain uncontrollable methods of attack.
本文描述了空手道的起源及其作为一项运动的发展历程。空手道损伤往往集中在三个主要部位：头部和颈部、内脏以及四肢。目前缺乏有效的空手道管理法规，而这有助于预防损伤，因此应当制定相关法规。预防损伤的建议包括引入体重分级制度、强制提供诸如软垫地面等防护装备，以及取缔某些不可控的攻击方式。
