I think that pIqaD may of been develped in the same way as Japanees
charaters, as is often shown on ST:TNG, Klingon marial arts, weapon and
non-weapon, resemble Japanees matial arts, weapon and non-weapon.

Hmmm, I'd say the weapons themselves more resemble Chinese martial arts
weapons. Japanese weapons are a bit more austere. Both the betleH and the
meqleH are much to 'busy' to resemble Japanese weapons.
As for the martial arts; the Klingon version of Tai Chi, mokbara (sp) shown by Worf is, well, Yang
Tai Chi in its appearance - Chinese, not Japanese. As for the fight scenes we've
seen, I'd say they look just like Hollywood martial arts, and not very good Hollywood
martial arts at that.
