Martial art – weak art? Not weak, quite wrong (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

karate

'martial art' is the definition.
(karate is a kind of martial art)

'weak art? not weak quite wrong' is the wordplay.
'not' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'weak' becomes 'w' (physics symbol as in W-boson).
'quite wrong' indicates an anagram.
'weak'+'art'='weakart'
'weakart' with 'w' removed is 'eakart'.
'eakart' is an anagram of 'KARATE'.

(Other definitions for karate that I've seen before include "A taker (anag)" , "Japanese art of unarmed combat" , "fighting system" , "Japanese system of unarmed combat" , "Unarmed-combat system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
