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.

Often seen as the vanilla ice-cream of the martial arts. People constantly argue that, for example, jiu jitsu or taekwondo are more specialist and therefore better arts.
However, given that karate teaches a wide variety of punches, blocks and kicks, it produces well-balanced competitors.

When you are upset enough with someone to where you want to hurt them, or cause physical harm. Usually an unarmed punch, kick, chop, or variation thereof.

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.
