It depends on what you mean by Karate. Do you specifically mean those styles that use that name? They are from Okinawa & Japan. Typically, Okinawan styles (Gojoryu, Shorin Ryu & Ishin Ryu) emphasize hand techniques. Japanese styles (Shotokan, Kempo) use about equal hand & foot techniques.
If you are using "Karate" to mean any martial art that emphasizes strikes, you have to include Shaolin Boxing, which is roughly split into northern & southern. Southern style emphasizes hand techniques (It's where the Okinawans got their style). Northern is more like Tae Kwon Do & Tang Soo Do which are Korean. You will get arguments as to who 1st introduced the emphasis on kicking, but there is no denying that both Noerthern Shaolin & the Korean arts of TKD & TSD (there is very little difference) use a lot of kicks. Find a good instructor in a styls that suits you
