Description:
The term 'karate' comes to Common from Japanese via English and is a martial art which is ironically somewhat popular in the New World Order despite the position of modern Japan. A form of this art survives in modern Britain as well. In the New World Order, it is sometimes confused in the public mind as a general word for any Asian-originated martial art. It is generally only used as a noun.
