How do you gain a black belt in just 3-4 years of study?
20'000 hours would be 12 hours of practice every single day for just over 4 years.

alot of these schools are BULL-shido schools these kids are $$$ every month for the owner where they come in and learn fake Kata & Forms which is pretty much Danceing ( may have worked 200 years ago or movies but not in today street fight ) there is No sparing nothing to teach them real fighting The class teacher are high level belts Black belt kids that teach the kids while the real instuctor sit in the back and wacks off to porn or what ever ... real waste of money and time. These demos are there to get more students in so the owner can make more money nothing more.
My Q is do the parents really think are 7 her punches and kicks will make enough power to stop a attack

Martial arts aren't all about combat. I don't know much about Karate but with kung fu it's mostly about personal growth. You can hone it for fighting but that's only one way to use it. My brother did karate for a few years & his teacher did things more like you describe - sparring etc. It seemed like mostly fight conditioning. I reckon Western boxing is better to get good at legally defending yourself & it looks cooler which is half the battle but whatever.
