Sharkman Karate

Sharkman Teacher — Forgotten Island

Sharkman Karate is one of the fighting styles in Blox Fruits — a class of melee martial arts that runs parallel to swords and devil fruits and lets you fight with weapon-style melee even while a fruit is on cooldown. Every Blox Fruits build runs exactly one fighting style, so picking the right one is one of the most important decisions a player makes after level 700. Fighting styles split into three buckets: PvP-oriented bursters (e.g. Godhuman, Sharkman Karate), sustain styles (Sanguine Art with its lifesteal), and grinding styles (Electric Claw with its AoE). Sharkman Karate fits its role inside this meta and is best paired with a sword and fruit that complement its damage profile. Sharkman Karate maxes out at mastery 400, with each level unlocking new skill ranges, damage scaling, and combo timing windows. The cleanest way to climb mastery is to pair this style with a fruit that has a stun-lock — landing the stun, then chaining Sharkman Karate M1s into a finisher is the per-second mastery xp ceiling. Sharkman Karate is obtained via: Sharkman Teacher — Forgotten Island. Most Sharkman Karate combos start with a long-range fruit move to lock the enemy in stun, transition into a sword swap for the M1 ramp, then finish with the style's hardest-hitting skill. The exact framing depends on your fruit awakening level, but the core principle — fruit stun → sword filler → fighting-style finisher — is universal across most B+ tier loadouts.

   Both Kilo Admiral and Fish Crew Member uses Sharkman Karate Old's M1's as its melee.

   Sharkman Karate is considerably the best way to grind for Aura levels, as almost all the moves are tick damage, especially as it has lots of tick damage.

   Sharkman Karate is the second V2 Fighting Style to have an upgraded version, the first being Dragon Talon.

   Before Update 27.2, Sharkman Karate was obtained from Daigrock, the Sharkman.

   Despite being an upgrade to Water Kung Fu, Sharkman Karate's M1’s are not considered worth using by the community due to its dash. It is recommended to use Sharkman Karate solely for PvP, and Water Kung Fu for grinding since it’s spammable.

   Currently, the Sharkman Master's final belt in the Fish Fight battle training is excruciatingly hard to obtain, as it requires a 100% critical hit ratio, and involves luck over the Sharkman Master misses his final hit.

   Sharkman Karate shared very similar visual effects with awakened Flame's [Z] Burning Blast, (prior to it's revamp) as it shared the same meshes and almost seemed like a recolored version.

   This also applies for old Sharkman Karate's [C] Move having similar effects to awakened Flame's , most likely due to it being a very old fighting style.

   Sharkman Karate received a small change.
