In karate, we do not rely on muscle mass, but rather execution of technique.. ie)pressure point strike, properly executed = opponent on the ground.
As to your workout plans for upper body, do you plan to bulk up and then cut, or stay lean and cut from the get-go?

One of the things that you can do that require no equipment is to do pull -ups……you can do this by putting a bar in a door way and do pull ups on it. Do about 5 sets of about 15 reps. This will strengthen your arms. You can also get you 2 items that will weigh the same (2 bricks taped together ) for each hand and you can use them like you would dumbbells. This will also help you to build muscles up in your arms. Start off with about 5 sets of about 15 reps. Use your imagination and you will be able to come up with a lot of different ways to be able to work your arms and your abs out. Doing sit ups and crunches are really good for your abs.

http://www.crossfit.com has some good workouts that dont require weights and are pretty hard
Tabata Method
Tabata is the name of a Japanese researcher who discovered an interesting way to increase both anaerobic and aerobic pathways at the same time. It’s an excellent program for anyone looking to lose fat quickly.
You can essentially use any exercise for this method (rower, jump squats, thrusters, etc.). An Airdyne bike would be perfect, but an upright stationary bike or spinning bike would be suitable as well.
Airdyne Bike
This training method is so simple, yet so incredibly difficult:
1) For twenty seconds, work at maximum intensity
2) Rest for ten seconds
3) Repeat seven more times
That’s it! Although it sounds easy, it’s guaranteed to be the hardest four minutes of your life.
Leg Screamer
24 bodyweight squats to below parallel (read: below parallel)
24 bodyweight alternating dynamic lunges (12 per leg)
24 jump squats
24 second isometric squat hold (because I said so)
Again, time your set. Rest for the same amount of time it took you to complete the circuit. Three to four rounds should suffice.
alot of your power comes from your core and your legs….you should be able to do the following
60 pushups
20 pull ups(without stopping)
15 1-legged squats
