Fishman Karate (魚人空手, Gyojin Karate?) is a martial art that is practiced by certain skilled members of the fishman race. While deadly enough on land, Fishman Karate has a number of devastating underwater moves designed to be suitable with the Fishmen strength and speed along with the mobility that goes while under water and, in some cases, a fishman's personal adaptation (fins, teeth, etc.).
According to Jinbe, the key to mastering Fishman Karate is to be able to control all the water in the user's direct vicinity, from the water in the atmosphere to the water in the opponent's body.[1] Since every living creature is nothing more than a mass of water, the users of Fishman Karate are able to battle opponents that are usually highly resistant (if not immune) against blows and punches. This was first demonstrated against Monkey D. Luffy, a rubber man, who is nearly immune to blunt attacks.

Kuroobi's Moves Kuroobi, officer of the Arlong Pirates, claimed that he is a level 40 practitioner of this martial art style. All of his moves are demonstrated during his battle against Sanji. (Rank Of Use: Pirate/Lieutenant) Note: No Bonuses allowed to be used for this and all below moves are the rank of Pirate/Lieutenant Training: 20 posts
* Hyakumaigawara Seiken (百枚瓦正拳, Hyakumaigawara Seiken?, literally meaning "Hundred Tile True Punch"): A hard punch that can send an opponent flying. Kuroobi claims that this attack is so strong that it can break through one hundred tiles.
* Wanto Giri (腕刀斬り, Wantō Giri?, literally meaning "Arm Blade Slash"): Kuroobi slams his arm-fin into the back of his opponent's neck.
* Itomaki Kumite (イトマキ組手, Itomaki Kumite?, literally meaning "Devilfish Sparring"): Done underwater, Kuroobi wraps his ponytail around the opponent's waist to prevent them for escaping. The word "Itomaki" means "manta ray"; but it can also mean "spool of thread", which is what his opponent looks like when they are caught by this attack.
* Kaisoku: Harakudashigeri (海速 腹下し蹴り, Kaisoku: Harakudashigeri?, literally meaning "Sea-Speed Stomach Drop Kick"): An underwater attack, Kuroobi darts forward and uses the momentum to deliver a savage side kick to the opponent's stomach. This attack's name is a pun, the word "kaisoku", written with different kanji, can mean "high speed"; the term "harakudashi", meaning "drop of the stomach", is also the word for "laxative"; and, finally, the word "geri" is one of the many ways of writing "kick", but this version can also mean "diarrhea". Put them all together and it makes "High speed, laxative induced diarrhea".
* Ka Ka Kakato Otoshi (火華カカト落とし, Ka Ka Kakato Otoshi?, literally meaning "Fire Flower Heel Drop"): Done underwater, Kuroobi spins and hits his opponent with the heel of his foot.
* Kachiage Haisoku (カチ上げ背足, Kachiage Haisoku?, literally meaning "Rising Thrust-Kick"): Done underwater, an inner-sole kick to the chin of Kuroobi's opponent.
* Jodan Bakusho (上段爆掌, Jōdan Bakushō?, literally meaning "High-Rank Exploding Palm"): Done underwater, this is an open-palm attack to the chin of Kuroobi's opponent.
* Appakushi Chokka Koro (圧迫死直下航路, Appakushi Chokka Kōro?, literally meaning "Death by Pressure Plunge"): Done underwater, Kuroobi grabs his opponent then swims extremely fast to the ocean floor where the pressure of the ocean wreaks havoc on the opponent's body.
* Senmaigawara Seiken (千枚瓦正拳, Senmaigawara Seiken?, literally meaning "Thousand Tile True Punch"): A much stronger version of the Hyaku Maigawara Seiken, Kuroobi claims that this move is the "true essence of Fishman Karate". It can break through one thousand tiles, and kill a human with one shot. Unfortunately for him, it was never seen if he was telling the truth because Sanji had defeated Kuroobi with a barrage of kicks before the punch could actually connect.

Capote's Moves During the Donut Race portion of the Davy Back Fight, Capote of the Foxy Pirates showed some of his skills in Fishman Karate in order to aid the Cutie Wagon in racing. The techniques he used are as follows: (Rank Of Use: Pirate/Lieutenant) Note: No Bonuses allowed to be used for this and all below moves are the rank of Pirate/Lieutenant Training: 10 posts
* Kaimen Wari (海面・割り, Kaimen Wari?, literally meaning "Sea Surface Splitter"): Using a karate chop, Capote can split the very ocean itself in order to send a shock wave to attack an enemy.
* Two Fish Engine (魚々人泳法(ツーフィッシュエンジン), Tsū Fisshu Enjin?, kanji description read as "Fish-Fishman Swimming Method"): Combining himself with Monda by placing himself in the star shark's mouth, Capote can create a faster "engine" for the Cutie Wagon. With this, Capote and Monda can pull the Cutie Wagon more easily through raging currents. Apparently Monda's sharp teeth don't hurt Kapoty.

Hody Jones' Moves Hody Jones has shown extreme power with his Fishman Karate, so much that Usopp claimed that he was above Arlong; this mighty strength has further been boosted by Hody's over-dosage on the Energy Steroid drugs. However, Jinbe regarded Hody as a rookie compared to himself. (Rank Of Use: Commander/Captain) Note: No Bonuses allowed to be used for this and all below moves are the rank of Commander/Captain Training: 25 posts
* Soshark (粗鮫(ソシャーク), Soshāku?, literally meaning "Rough Shark"): Hody uses his tremendous strength and grip to crush large walls of stone. "Soshaku" means 'mastication' in Japanese. This was first seen when Hody used it to crush the wall of Ryugu Palace to allow water to flood in.
* Yabusame (矢武鮫, Yabusame?, literally meaning "Arrow Military Shark"): Hody first wets his arm, then he punches the air in a chosen direction, using his massive strength to throw many drops of water, which are converted into deadly arrows through mere kinetic force; this is similarly to Arlong, who also threw water with the force of bullets during his battle against Zoro and Sanji in Arlong Park. "Yabusame" is a type of traditional Japanese mounted archery. This was first seen used against the Straw Hat Pirates and the restrained Neptune army.
* Uchimizu (撃水, Uchimizu?, literally meaning "Water Shot"): The basic version of Yabusame, in which Hody throws a single drop of water like a bullet. After undergoing the transformation due to the Energy Steroids, the penetrative force of this attack has increased in an unbelievable way, to the point where it not only pierced through a fishman, but also through several structures and rock formations behind him, moving several kilometres away from the location from which it was fired, and only then returning to its original state of drop and falling in the water.
* Umidaiko (海太鼓, Umidaiko?, literally meaning "Ocean Drum"): Hody punches the water in front of him pushing it at his opponent and sending a shockwave through it. The shockwave hits the opponent dealing great damage and leaving a pressure mark on his body.

Jinbe's Moves As a former Shichibukai member, Jinbe is a very high-level master of the Fishman Karate style. (Rank Of Use: Captain/Admiral) Note: No Bonuses allowed to be used for this and all below moves are the rank of Captain/Admiral Training: 30 posts
* Karakusagawara Seiken (唐草瓦正拳, Karakusagawara Seiken?, literally meaning "Arabesque Tile True Punch"): Jinbe punches at a fair distance from the intended target(s), so instead of the fist connecting, it uses the water vapor in the air to release a shock wave that sends them flying. This move is very similar to Bartholomew Kuma's Pad Cannon with the only difference being that the shock waves aren't concentrated upon being released; but in exchange, it has a much wider area of effect. This move has a delayed effect, as the shock wave takes a while to affect the opponent(s).
* Gosenmaigawara Seiken (五千枚瓦正拳, Gosenmaigawara Seiken?, literally meaning "Five Thousand Tile True Punch"): A much-stronger version of the Senmaigawara Seiken. It is a very powerful punch, able to knock out a Demon Guard in one strike. It is used like an uppercut, rather than a straight punch, sending the opponent flying skywards. Considering the name, it is possible this attack is fifty times stronger then Kuroobi's Hyakumaigawara Seiken and five times stronger then his Senmaigawara Seiken, and as such, break through five thousand tiles.
* Gyojin Jujutsu: Mizugokoro (魚人柔術水心, Gyojin Jūjutsu: Mizugokoro?, literally meaning "Fishman Way of Yielding: Water Heart"): An underwater technique that Jinbe initiates by first performing a bowl-shaped gesture with his webbed hands (one hand over the other) while underwater right before giving the water itself around him a mighty yank. This allows Jinbe to physically grab and redirect currents as if he were manipulating cloth.[ In the anime, Jinbe collects the water into a glowing, blue-white orb in his hands, he then swims off at high speed causing the orb to form a spiraling water current which he then throws to the surface.
* Kairyu Ipponzeoi (海流一本背負い, Kairyū Ipponzeoi?, literally meaning "Sea Current Lifter"): An underwater technique performed after Mizugokoro. Jinbe heaves the current upward, where it erupts from the ocean surface as a towering stream of water. This was first seen used in Impel Down's exterior bay in order to lift a makeshift raft onto a Marine battleship. Jinbe could apparently generate multiple water streams like these if necessary.
* Yarinami (槍波, Yarinami?, literally meaning "Spear Wave"): A technique used on a body of water's surface. Jinbe heaves a spear-shaped burst of water with enough force to punch a hole in solid structures. In the anime, Jinbe performed this technique after emerging from the eye of a whirlpool, and then musters up the whirlpool with his webbed hands and throws it into the target(s) in the form a piercing cyclone of water.
* Samehada Shotei (鮫肌掌底, Samehada Shōtei?, literally meaning "Sharkskin Palm Block"): A simple palm block with enough force behind it to slap away a sword swing from the shadow-powered Gekko Moriah.
* Samegawara Seiken (鮫瓦正拳, Samegawara Seiken?, literally meaning "Shark Tile True Fist"): A powerful straight punch that is strong enough to send the shadow-powered Gekko Moriah reeling. It is unknown as to how strong this technique is, compared to either his Karakusagawara Seiken or his Gosenmaigawara Seiken.
* Uchimizu (撃水, Uchimizu?, literally meaning "Water Shot"): Jinbe hurls a simple droplet of water at his opponent, which can become a deadly bullet with the kinetic force created by his immense fishman strength.
* Nanasenmaigawara Mawashigeri (七千枚瓦回し蹴り, Nanasenmaigawara Mawashigeri?, literally meaning "Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick"): Jinbe performs a roundhouse kick, which is strong enough to block the gigantic Wadatsumi's punch and break one of his fingers.
