Okinawan Unarmed Combat, that has been treated like shit by any one of its practictioners, not to mention the most recent ones as of the late 1980's by many a snotty nosed kid and young adult alike.
Karate, or any unarmed form, should be treated like a gun and pile of bullets:
WITH UTMOST RESPECT, AND DILIGENCE!!!!

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.
