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:

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.

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

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