Martial Arts Associations/Foundations/Federations/etc.

[Daniel Sullivan]

Most martial arts organizations these days are composed of people with no real fight records but have super duper titles and "ranks".

Bruce Lee had no fight record either. What's your point? Not everyone is a competitive fighter.

A good example is the organization of frauds called the International Martial Arts Council.

That is a pretty strong accusation to make. Please offer something to substantiate this or refrain from making such statements. Also be aware of the site policy regarding fraud-busting (http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71377 see 1.10.3).

It's like the special olympics of martial arts, everyone is a winner. They all have 10th-15th degree black belts, phony PhD's, and uber titles.

Really? I looked at the staff, bios. One tenth and the rest were single digit dans. One was a second dan. http://imacusa.com/staff.html
As far as saying that their Ph.D's are phony, well, I have neither the time nor the interest in checking their academic credentials personally, but make sure that you can substantiate this claim before making it on the web.

Just a friendly heads up.
