Abstract
This study on the development of coordination through practicing karate aims to present and demonstrate a method of coordination development through learning the basic technical procedures of traditional karate. The experiment performed on children aged between 12 and 14 years highlights the importance of coordination, which underlies their development. The practical activity specific to this martial art highlighted the development of the main components of coordination but also of the aspects related to self-control, respect, ability to concentrate and last but not least, patience.

Summary
The history of martial arts is not very clear given the period in which they were founded. Traditional karate training consists of three essential components in the process of learning, consolidating and improving karate techniques. The first of these includes teaching techniques that form the basis of martial arts (Kihon). The methodical route of the three stages towards improvement is original and respects the modern theory of didactic principles This theory involves, in the first stage, the precise execution of the exercise according to a model (first level of coordination), the ability to link this precision with a fast execution of the movement (second level) and accurate and fast demonstration of movements in various conditions (third level), which can take place during a fight with an opponent. Balance; precision; spatial orientation ability; temporal orientation ability, especially rhythm and tempo; amplitude, based on joint mobility - suppleness - muscle elasticity; ambilaterality (incompletely and incorrectly called "ambidexterity") the ability to perform motor acts and actions in all directions and planes with any upper or lower limb [2]
