While this doesn't make a ton of sense (he's not a character from Kung-fu Panda), the template doesn't offer any other skill to actually use his claws and I can reason that since his character is not a normal tiger, he uses his claws in ways unique from normal tigers (I might let another person familiar with big cats percieve the difference).

If the player turns into a tiger (rather than a humanoid tiger-like being) I would not let him use karate, but rather DX like most animals for attacking. Animal joints are built differently enough from human they I couldn't imagine human taught martial arts working in animal form.

And I certainly would not give him the damage bonus. If he wants more damage, he can buy striking ST.

YMMV.
