I would love to hear your TOP 3 Reasons, Your Do-Jang is NOT a McDojo

Our stuff works against other styles.
Advancing from brown belt to black takes as long as going from white to black in some other places.
We have no lazy Karatekas - enforced club rule.

Sign on one of the walls stating that you are a "black belt school".
Should be......
Curriculum is set, rules are adhered to, and you only advance to the next belt rank when you are ready.
P.S. At contract renewal time, if it feels like you are buying a car, just sign on the dotted line, run..............

Dude - you stole my line! That is exactly what I was going to post.

A quick and easy way to determine a McDojo is to look at testings. Why did the student promote:

1. The student performed the required material to the instructor's satisfaction.
2. The check for the testing fee cleared the bank.

If the answer is #2, there's a problem....
