Of course every now and then a fighter can pop out of one, due to his own sheer innate skill, but places pumpin out 10 yr old black belts this is the abhoration rather than the norm. Now like I said before, if a McDojo wants to teach their students a cultural expression, a fun way to get fit and in shape, a social place, a place to lock up an hour of your kids time, etc... Fine and dandy. But for crappy teachers (when I say crappy I do not mean articulate or not I mean crappy in the sense that they got their black belt by watchin 2 tapes, and mailin in their $150, and have fought only in their fantasies), there are quite a large number who do promise their students that they will become a ninja in a week. Will be able to take on any surly biker 3 times bigger than them. That hard work and physical fitness is less important than thinking about fighting. Testing what they learned is impossible because surely people will die. On an on. And well surprise surprise, some of these guy's students get it into their head that yes, this guy is tellin me the truth, and I will pick that fight with a person I have no business ever messing with. To me, that is just pure dangerousness. I guess saying that some people like this, strikes me in the same way as me sayin its alright if some people go to crappy fake medical schools to get MDs, as long as they like getting false information about medicine. Would you want that guy out there practicin medicine holdin himself out as a medical doctor? Or workin on you?
