11-year-old Jonathan Pots is one of Britain's karate kids. Twice a week after school he goes to his local sports centre in Warrington. He takes off his grey school uniform, and puts on white trousers and a white jacket. Then he stands with the other students, bows to his teacher, and the lesson begins.

Karate is a Japanese word. It means 'empty hands'. You don't need anything for karate - just your hands and feet. 'But it's important to think, too,' says Jonthan.

Karate is becoming very popular with British children. Even small children aged 5 or 6 can do karate. 'Karate is an ideal sport for children,' says Jonathan's instructor, liam Rees. 'It's exciting, but it isn't dangerous.'
