Well first off, Karate is from Japan and uses punches, kicks, and open or "knife hand" strikes. While, Kung Fu is from China and mimics the strikes of animals by using the fingertips, palms, nails, wrists ect. Both have controversy over where and who they originated from so i wont get into that.

karate is linear strikes, kung fu from what I understand is more of the circular movement philosophy.. supposedly karate was derived from Kung Fu, but not sure.. as this is part of the conspiracy dude was talking about.. kung fu also has more defensive locks and pressure points to it than karate.
