It is the reverse phonetic form, actually: many C words use the K sound.

Karate is spelled with a "k" due to its origin in Japan, where the native language uses the "k" sound instead of the "c" sound used in English. The Japanese writing system also does not differentiate between the "k" and "c" sounds, so "karate" is a more accurate transliteration of the word from Japanese.
