In my karate, we do a type of karate called Tang so doo. There is also Taekwondo, which is more action while Tang So Doo is more defensive. There are forms and different types of defence rules and you learn the proper kicks like round kick, side kick and front snap kick. There is basically two sides to karate training, katas and kumite. Katas are a predefined sequence of movements against an imaginary opponent and kumite is the practice of individual moves. This can be done in pairs ippon and ju ippon kumite or by ones self. A lesson can also include sparing, self defence and other exercises
Things vary from school to school. You must learn a certain amount of moves, (ex. kicks, katas, kumites ect.).
Some schools are very formal in their testing and others are more relaxed. Some go before a panel of graders, in others a single instructor evaluates the two items.
To advance in karate you have to do a grading. To advance to some belts it can take only a few months where other belts can take years.
Find a qualified instructor to teach you. Classes are offered in many places.
Practice your moves for at least 2 hrs a day. Try doing yoga. Go for a 30 min run everyday. Go to school without a jacket to tough it out.
I have dreams for your future ;)
You have to meet the requirements of your style or school. And you have to show the proper attitude and discipline. People that are only interested in promotion are not going to do well.
Practice your kata every day. Work on stretching. Aerobic exercise on a regular basis and attend class whenever you can.
You have to study for many, many years. Most understand that there is no end to learning. A master in the art is usually in their 70's or older.
train and get really good

Get thee to a dojo! Of course there are 'moves' in karate. To learn how to do them really requires that someone train under a qualified instructor.
yes
Karate affects anyone who takes it because of the following: Karate in any teaching style is usually meant to train, heal, or cleanse our mind, body, and spirit. Karate will teach self-defense to an individual. Karate affects our self-disipline, patientce, work ethic, and overall well-being.
Where ever his teacher is located. And they all have a teacher. If their master has passed away, they train on their own in their own dojo.
Yes, they certainly can. It doesn't take much to learn how to do it, but there is no real reason to train to do it other than competitions.
{| |- | Matsumura Sokon is one of the earliest recorded practitioners, but he was continuing a tradition that was already many centuries old. The origins of karate are shrouded in mystery. The Chinese came to Okinawa and brought with them kung fu. It was combined with the native art of Te and became karate. |}
