No, no, no! It is not called a 'karate chop', it is a 'judo chop' - how hard can it be? Any kick aimed at a person however, is a 'karate kick' - even during a football match.
You may also be forgiven calling it 'krotty' rather than 'karate', if you live in the US :-)
The Frenchman Eric Cantona displayed a 'kung-fu' kick in his days with Manchester United, but that was an air-born attack... If not, then it's: 'karate (or krotty) kick'.
Story:
UK -- A 36-year-old footballer who "karate chopped" a 39-year-old opponent across the face during a "friendly" five-a-side football match on February 1, 2005, snapping his jaw in two places, has been hit with a hefty fine.
The accused changed his plea to admit the horrific attack only minutes before being due to go to trial in front of a jury at Airdrie Sheriff Court.
The court heard that the 36-year-old had been the victim of a mis-timed tackle by opponent, and lashed out in retaliation.
