Just because people do this everyday doesn't make it justified. And up to this point, the OP hasn't been dodging questions, so I'm not sure that there is a big secret.And yet in every day life, how many times do we see the same thing with events that happen in the world? Someone gets shot by a cop, it's the cop fault because he's a macho hot head who shoots first and asks questions later. Couldn't possibly be that perhaps the guy had a knife and lunged at the cop after repeated commands to drop the knife . Of course, like I said, what's the big secret? I mean, while nobody is required to post info, if it was posted, perhaps things would be different.
I was refering only to this thread, not to the bigger picture. People specifically said, "McDojo" because of the idea that students could apply to test without the instructor giving them permission.I'm going to disagree a bit with this. Using myself as an example...I went from a Kenpo school, to a Kyokushin school. Both are martial arts, but the training is very different. My kyokushin dojo is far from a mcdojo, and yet when I joined 2yrs ago, I had to become accustomed to things. IMHO, a mcdojo tends to do things that the reasonable person would call suspect or questionable. Perhaps, so as to not sidetrack this thread, I should start a new thread on what people thinks make a mcdojo.
