This text, written by educators working in a specialized prevention team, presents the experience of an introduction to karate which was offered to a transgenerational and family-based public in a particular neighborhood. The objectives are to promote a rewarding physical activity, to establish connections between people who do not know each other, and to allow them to experience another type of relationship than the one that they are used to. The right choice of karate teacher is also crucial. The satisfaction expressed by the participants suggests that the organizers of this project succeeded in their aims.
