a martial art style originating in okinawa. it lost its good rrep wen it became a mainstream object of money and advertising. although many do not teach it in the traditional way, sum styles of karate do teach elements such as grappling, rolling and falling(known to be from jujitsu), soft and circular techniques(from kung-fu) and pressure point attacks. the traditional style of te(original name for karate) included all of these.

he tries but karate guy throws him and then does a kick to his face(while jujitsu guy is laying on the ground)
karate guy then walks away
