In a nut shell Karate and Jiu Jitsu originated from japan. Karate literally means "Empty-hand". A form of martial arts where there are a lot of punches and throws. Power-based attacks.

Jiu Jitsu concentrates more on effortless attacks like targeting the joint and locking opponents, disabling them.

Tae Kwon Do came from Korea where one uses the legs as the primary weapon.

Kung Fu if i'm not mistaken came started in china. A combination of punch and kicks with some acrobatics.
