Does karate have an impact on pregnancy or menstruation?
In general, practicing karate has no negative effects on menstruation; in fact, if done in moderation, it can help ease cramps and elevate mood. Light, non-contact training may be safe in the early stages of pregnancy, but sparring, falls, and high-impact exercises should be avoided to safeguard the unborn child. During pregnancy, it's best to lower the intensity and consult your doctor before starting.
