"Karate chop" murder

Hold on a second! What happened to the "Deadly Judo Chop™"? This is so easy to remember that even reporters should get it right - all kicks are karate - all chops are judo. No exceptions! Geddit?

Story:
A teenager who killed a man with a "karate chop" to steal his designer bag has been convicted of murder.

The 18-year-old male struck his victim on the back of the neck as he intervened in a struggle in Hackney, east London on 18 February 2006. His friend, also 18, then grabbed a Louis Vuitton case. Jurors heard they wanted to steal what they could and were ready to use violence.

Another man was dragged from the car as they two teenagers pulled up outside a nightclub. As the victim ran to help, he was floored with a "karate-style chop" from the accused and hit his head on the ground.
