I notice that a lot of people these days really don't rate Karate.
It may be with good reason.
But to dismiss an art entirely....
I dunno.When people like Gary Spiers,Geoff Thompson,Peter Consterdine,Terry O'neil to name a few all come from a Karate background & all have years of experience working doors in some 'harsh' places.
I think the Karate they learned can't have been that useless.
But then again maybe it's the 'men' & not the art.

BTW - I don't train in Karate.

Cheers Jez.
