karate 

A martial art that originated in Okinawa. It lost it's good reputation when it stretched out to the western world and started producing false techniques and used their teachings primarily for money. Karate is often misinterpeted for a martial art that is ineffective and homosexual, but when used in it's true form is actually one of the most deadliest martial arts

Jim: Hey Jesse your a fag! Now I must fight you using my karate.

Jesse: Jim I don't wanna fight you, I'll probably end up killing you with my far superior karate skills.
