Why Is Karate Popular In Entertainment?

Now you have learned what the martial arts about, I'm going to be explaining how karate's used for entertainment. Karate was spread through the west (North America); karate had influenced Canada, Korea, Soviet Union (1922-1991), United States, Europe, United Kingdom, Italy, and France outside of Japan. I bet you're asking right now saying, "When did they started filming movies that included martial arts?" They started making martial arts in the 1970s, it had become a mainstream genre that pushed karate and all other martial arts into media and popularity. (Ex. Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.) That's why karate used for entertainment because it draws attention to the audience and makes more people interested with martial arts.
