I suppose it depends on the person, but would United Studios of Self Defense be considered a McDojo?

If I was him, I'd rather be short than pay $18,000 per year.

Here's some lame Okinawan weapons jokes. What do you call a stick-based weapon that has been possessed by a ghost? A boo-staff. Why couldn't the Okinawans have pauses in the middle of their sentences when their weapons were confiscated by the royalty? They didn't have kamas. What else did the Okinawan warriors do when they found out their weapons were confiscated? They let out a sai of frustration.

Why isn't a 1st kyu allowed to become a boss of the mafia? Because he isn't a Dan!

Welcome to KF!

I'm not afraid of heights, but I still bet it would be quite disconcerting to look down from there.

Welcome to KF, and congratulations for inheriting 10th Dan.

Oh, and about martial arts, I think I had my teeth pulled on a Monday, and then I had a class the next day on Tuesday. I decided to skip that lesson, but I was feeling well enough to go to my Friday class that week.

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed last December. I was extremely anxious before the operation, too. They gave me general anesthesia through an IV, so I don't know what local with sedative would be like. The operation itself went fine, but I had soreness and swelling in my mouth for the next week. Luckily, the doctors gave me painkillers to help with the pain. The total recovery took about 2 weeks, but your recovery should be shorter because it's just two teeth, not four.

Wow. I wonder how he got the continents so accurate to real life?

Welcome to KF!

Congrats! White belt is 7th kyu in your style? White is the belt you start with in my style, which is like 11th kyu.

Welcome!

Wow, that was amazing. Must have taken a long time to make.
