Tsunami Karate

Tsunami Karate is a Polish style of karate.

The term Tsunami means that it's one of few Japanese words in Polish Language.

Japanese names of techniques and etiquette of dojo are used, although it is Polish karate founded by Mr Ryszard Murat. Tsunami was created in Poland, but on the foundations of other styles of karate, and therefore there is Japanese terminology in it. Tsunami is the style of mercy, because in the situation of fight one should gouge one eye, not two.

There is much street fight in this style. Often the opponent can be knocked down by the look of face of a tsunamist. The looks of faces are completely different from the looks of faces of common people in the situation of fight.
