Lost me when I seen Romans & Celts fighting in battle, I could be be wrong but they never trained in Karate! Match your visuals with narration.
Plus karate was called" Toudi " which is Hand in Okinawain then "Chinese Hand" in Japan but that dropped due to anti Chinese politics in Japan to Karate " Empty Hand" when shotokan style was introduced to Japan.
