In the modern world, some could (and do) make the argument that, due to the generic meaning of the word "karate" (i.e. "empty hand"), any unarmed combat system or sport could technically refer accurately to itself as karate. This can be a difficult and sometimes controversial question, complicated by attitudes toward philosophy and competition, by questions of lineage and primacy, and perhaps above all by questions of nationalism and identity
