What does TANSTAAFL stand for? If the acronym is cool enough I may be willing to pay up to 5 figures for this.

Did you know 50% of martial artists loose fights. The last ufc they trained for years and half of them lost. In a real life or death fight you just cannot trust those odds.

In TANStAAFL there are highly trained staff that ensures EVERY participant wins.EVERY TIME.

This is because winning is the deciding factor of survival in a real street fight.

In a high stress life or death scenario where your family has been captured by ninjas. You will you will not have time to access years of training. You will only be able to focus on simple concepts.

This is why three days of TANSTAAFL is actually more effective than traditional arts.

 

[Blindside]

TANSTAAFL where all students are above average.

 

[Ironbear24]

In TANSTAAFL competitions everyone wins because it is impossible for A practitioner of TANSTAAFL to lose.

I only regret that I'm unable to actually select LIKE, DISLIKE, AGREE, and DISAGREE, in addition to FUNNY.
