Hi,
I think you have a very strong criteria/ standards - I agree with what you've laid out.
As to the question, what standards do I rely on?
1. Reality - if it takes more than 5 minutes to demonstrate, and understand (not master, mind you), I throw it out--you'll never be able to pull it off in a real life life/death situation.
2. See 1.
For some, combat is not the main point. Maybe they're into cultural preservation and tradition--maybe they are just fascinated by exotica, fair and fine. For me, however, training should be intense, and focused vs realistic attacks in all ranges including knife and gun.
