Remember- Karate is NOT the specific martial art karate, it is 'developed combat technique specialized in striking and doing damage'.

It could be developed in secret to help counter weapons (Karate), via extensive monastic training that eventually distills the best way to do things (kung-fu), by scientifically studying the kenisiology of the body and best ways to do damage (krav maga), or some other method.

As long as its a litany of taught (even self taught) advanced combat techniques; you can learn the GURPS 'karate' skill.
