"Karate" vs Taser

Why do they use the karate term as soon as someone goes into a fighting stance and attempts some waving around with their arms and legs?

Cincinnati: A 19-year-old man who attempted to punch a police officer during the evening rush hour Monday was subdued after being Tased.

The person was harassing people around 6:20 p.m. and swung at an officer who was trying to subdue him, said police. Police attempted to arrest the man after he was observed making "karate moves" at people walking along the sidewalk.

Officers shot the Taser at him once and it did not attach. Officers then fired again. Officers then were able to arrest the man. He was charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
