@Amit_S:
Something I wonder.. would a good teacher accept you as a student if you come up with questions such as 'Can you teach me to take multiple oppenents down', 'Super fast black belt courses' ? Wouldn't he want to refuse a student with such motives ? Then how would you find a good teacher? What would a good teacher think of a student testing his morality ?

And on totally different note:
It seems to me Karate is really different in the US and in Europe. Looks much more like shotokan style with a lot of black belt given over Kata. What is the real situation ?

edit: I dared wrote 'chuck norris/walker texas ranger' style but I am not quite sure it is shotokan.
