Karate is not a sport and never has been, it is a martial art. Karate was developed by Okinawan peasants as a means to disarm and/or kill armed attackers during a period when the non-military classes were forbidden to own or carry weapons.
They also incorporated simple farming tools such as Tonfa and Nunchaku into a range of formidable weapons that could be used against armed aggressors.
There are some schools that have turned the study into a sports oriented program with focus on sparring competitions and winning trophies.
