Judo is a body of techniques (locks, throws, and parries, mostly). The same goes for any other combat skill. Boxing and Brawling are somewhat odd WRT how things are split up, but the principle remains. Brawling includes 'you know how to hit', boxing has 'you know how to punch well', and karate has 'you know how to hit well'. I don't think there's anything that you learn about hitting people from either of the lesser skills that isn't included in Karate.

As for the mechanical common sense, the damage/ST bonuses are understood to only apply to the use of the skill they come from. But off the top of my head I don't know how obvious the text makes this.

What does that even mean? If anything?

It's speaks for itself. Particularly this mark: " ;)"
