Discussion Main / IKnowKarate

Oh look, the Chuck example doesn't actually fit, and references a non-existent other example, because it's a reference to the Matrix example which is what everyone thinks I Know Kung Fu is referencing, but isn't actually this trope at all, yet got assigned the Kung Fu name because...of reasons.

Thank you clueless fucking wiki bureaucrats who decided that trope names should never involve much-loved references for letting us watch the wiki go downhill ever since.

I feel that by now this one has a sister trope, which is by someone about to enter a fight with a "I know karate/aikido/..." which he barely finishes before being punched out. Could be named something like "I know kara- ow!".
