I believe the answer is:

dojo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'room for karate?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one of two discs moved inside record player' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'record player' could be 'dj' (DJs play records) and 'dj' is found within the leftover letters.
A single letter 'o' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'making' is the link.
