Depends what state you're in, and how far they entered. I think.

I think you're legally in the clear past the 2nd knuckle.

So this Karate salesguy is basically selling the Amway of martial arts.

Also why the Hell would they have some fat guy doing kata on the front page of their website?!

Ah I see, it's a "fatties are welcome here" kind of marketing like for Curves health clubs. And/or we can teach you how to defend yourself even if you are a weak and fat.

But I still don't really get it because I would think many people would want to do martial arts as a fun and interesting way to get or stay fit and healthy.
