Knock Knock Karate Jokes
So what is it that makes a good “Knock Knock” Karate joke? There are several factors that have to be included before it is clever or funny.
One of the obvious things that has to be there is a reference to Karate or anything surrounding it. This can be done by adapting an already tried and true joke, or you can make one from scratch.
The next thing is the format. You can try to get creative with the “Knock Knock” joke format, but it usually goes badly. The best practice is to just leave the first half the same, so everyone knows the pattern. The fun is then breaking the pattern in the second half with word play and surprises.
Lastly is the pun, rhyme, or grammatical gymnastics required to ‘KO’ the ending and leave them in the floor laughing. Okay, you have to be a master for that type of ending, but you get the picture.
So, now you know what makes a good “Knock Knock” Karate joke. Let’s kick this off (pun intended) and jump spin right in…
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Sensei.
Sensei who?
I sen-sei lot of kicks coming your way unless you open this door.

Does your Karate teacher really cry that much?
Did you see the pattern? Sure you did. The word play is sometimes grand and sometimes unexpected. It is all in the pattern.
It is easier to get people to follow with some of these extreme stretching exercises using the English language if you stick to the same pattern. The listener knows when it is time to respond and more importantly, when they are expected to solve the grammar puzzle.
You have seen the pattern and you have heard the puns, now it is time to try some for yourself. It is harder than it sounds, but you can come up with your own if you put your head to it (but no headbutts).
Super Hero And Super Villain Karate Jokes For Kids
You will be hard pressed to find a kid that doesn’t like at least one of the super heroes from comic books, shows, or movies. Their preferences may lead them more towards one than another, but there will nearly always be one they are partial to.
It is the fantasy of most every kid to have powers that set them apart from the crowd. They fantasize about flying, swinging, or smashing even when they are supposed to be doing something else.
Add these super humans to a love of Karate and you have the makings of an attention grabber for most any child. Keeping that attention is a another story, but super heroes make everything easier when dealing with kids.
So lets jump into action and get going with the funny…
What is Superman’s favorite Karate move?
Flying Side Kick
What is the Hulk’s answer to every question in Karate class?
HULK SMASH!
What happened on the movie set in the city when the Incredible Hulk performed his famous jumping double hammer fist (Hulk Smash)?

What did the Karate master say to Captain America?

It doesn’t take a super brain to figure out why kids like the combination of super heroes and Karate. The funny has to come in at the end though or you will have gotten them excited and left them hanging.
Just use some of these examples and try to come up with some for yourself and you will have a group of kids hanging on your every word. You will have to keep ’em coming though. Kids can be a fickle crowd.
There are a lot of super heroes and there can be jokes centered around nearly every one. If you are wanting to attract a child’s undivided attention, sometimes pulling out a super hero Karate joke can be just what Dr. Octopus ordered.
Karate Jokes About Food
Ah food. For some kids it is the joy in life. For other little munchkins, it is the bane of their existence. We have had both in our household.
What is universal though is a love to poke fun at this central theme in our everyday lives. Take something simple like “criss cross apple sauce”. Every kid finds it funny if you refuse to say apple and constantly insert other things instead.
Criss cross banana sauce. See? It is an unexpected change from the mundane and kids love it. You can even insert non-food items like… criss cross dirt sauce. They get a kick out of it (pun intended) every time.
So here are some more traditional style jokes that revolve around food and Karate. As long as both are in the joke in some way all is fair game. Again, some are adaptations and some are my own creations.
You can give it a try after you read some of these gems (in my personal opinion of course).
What do Minions scream instead of Hi-yah in Karate class?

See? Just at one cup of food and a heaping spoonful of Karate and you have all the ingredients for a good Karate food joke. Give it a try for yourself and see what you can create.
It could turn out to be a big nothing burger, or it could end up being a giant bowl of awesomeness. You will never know until you get your hands in the mix and whip up something of your own.
Weather Karate Jokes
What does the weather have to do with Karate? About as much as it has to do with sharks. Not much. But there are some that can be classified in this category.
The names of different things in Karate can be repurposed to make some funny puns and observations. If you think on it a while, lightning could strike and they could come falling out of the sky like rain.
Maybe not, but here are a few that can get you started on your own weather related Karate jokes.

If you come up with any good jokes of any kind that relate to Karate, here is my contact page so you can send them. I will include the ones that give me at least a slight chuckle. (Don’t worry. I laugh a lot so it isn’t that high of a bar to reach.)
Karate Jokes For Your Kid’s Sensei (Instructor)
This section is all about ammo. These are literally meant to be hurled at every Karate instructor you can find. They are not aggressive or offensive. So, it is more like tossing Nerf balls at them than mud slinging.
There are a lot of different themes here, but they all share two things in common. They are about Karate, and they are in some way related to Karate masters or instructors.
Once you get a handle on how these go, you will be on the road to disparaging the name of the Karate instructors in your life (Not really. It’s more like poking fun at them).
