Karate is a term which refers to a specific style of martial arts (there are many styles of Karate), and is also used widely as a generic term to mean martial arts.
Karate styles historically originated either from Chinese styles (Kung Fu), or Korean styles such, as Taekwondo. For instance, Japanese fishermen from the island of Okinawa traded with people on the nearby Korean peninsula. While the fishermen were there they traded their fish for other goods and knowledge, including the martial art of Taekwondo, which they took back home to their island, and later called it Okinawan Karate.
