Caveat Emptor are words to live by.Here, I'll give you guys the official history of American Karate......
A bunch of guys got together and figured out a way to fight and exercise and taught it to other people.
Throughout the years various people improved on it and others added a liberal amount of bullship to it.
Some opened halls where it was sold to others.......and where the term Caveat Emptor raised it's old Latin head for the umpteenth time.
Of course, that's only American Karate. I'm sure it's a different story for all the other arts.
They probably didn't use the word umpteenth.
