This is quite an interesting topic - but there are different interpretations of some of them - Like TaeKwon Do is also translated to the art of smashing and breaking with the hands and feet!

And Karate had the meaning changed to mean what it does apparently (I got confused when I was told that!)

But anyway:

Shukokai - Way for All

Chikara - Strength and Power
