Karate
The art of kicking major ass. Karate originated in Okinawa, developed by peasants who were forbidden from carrying bladed weapons, as a method of defense against armored samurai. The classical style is characterized by very hard, short, “square” movements, as opposed to the “circular” movements of traditional Chinese kung fu, or the “long” strikes of Tae Kwon Do. Karate has since moved from Okinawa to Japan, and then on to the Western world after the U.S. occupation following WW2. Since then many “fake” styles have cropped up all over the world, based on traditional karate but lacking the proper techniques to generate power.

The Country of France
The Country of France. They are the inventors of the six gear tanks (5 reverse, 1 forward) and also have the highest cotton per capita of any nation in the world. They are organized and well prepared. Germany's visit in 1940 provides a great example: store owners had changed their signs to German weeks in advance, children in school recited German instead of the usual French, and the gardeners were working extra hard to put trees up in time for the German soldiers to walk in the shade.
France is also a wonderful teacher. When the US asked France to help them in the "War against Terrorism", France agreed. The next day, the French were setting up workshops in Afghanistan teaching the Taliban how to surrender. France is a large country, but they are peaceful and have never fought a war in history, contrary to popular belief. This is the Country of France.
