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.

That one raccoon that lives in your yard that you can't get rid of because it knows karate. The only way to defeat it is by hiring Jack-Jack from The Incredibles or Kung fu panda to fight it.
