Sadly most karate schools in the U.S. are McDojos. This doesn't mean that every single karate practioner sucks, but the ratio of good fighters per school is extremely low compared to other arts such as Muay Thai, BJJ, wrestling and boxing.
I'm sure that there's thousands of karate-ka's in the U.S. that could kick my ass, but I would be willing to wager that I could walk into any given karate school and defeat 70% of the students within.
