Learning karate, or participating in any other sport, will not stunt someone's growth. Like all sports and physical activity of all types, there are risks associated with them.
This is not a constant figure as karate is spreading throughout the world all the time.
There is no "Plain Karate." Karate originated in Okinawa. It has spread throughout the world. It has been modified in many places and there is what is often referred to as Japanese Karate, Korean Karate and even American Karate. They all incorporate aspects of the original styles from Okinawa, and incorporate local martial arts as well.
No karate is not spread in all the nations but WKF is working on it

Yoichi nakachi was also the "oh-so proud karate guy" that used to defy Bruce Lee in public places many times, he was Bruce's partner at University at that time, and finally it all ended up in a 11 seconds fight, face to face, in which Bruce beat him really bad (See Wikipedia Bruce Lee in Spanish)
