gheinisch Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) Ok, I just purchased a Martial Arts Book on Ebay and ran across this link about getting your your black belt in the comfort of your home for a mere $4,000.00. They even say you get tested for your belts. Not sure how that takes place. No risk money back guaranteed too! I sorry but I have to be very skeptical of an offer like this. The link isn't working. If you want to take a look just type in Black Belt Study in the ebay search. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3652813745&category=47348 Edited January 12, 2004 by gheinisch "If your hand goes forth withhold your temper""If your temper goes forth withold your hand"-Gichin Funakoshi
WolverineGuy Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I don't get it...you're skeptical? Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
WolverineGuy Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Wow...I'm sure glad that marketing a black belt home study course will bring back the tradition to martial arts. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
Drunken Monkey Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 that is a really scary advert.... i mean, what if someone actually buys one? what if they spend their time and learn everything from it? what if they actually need to use it? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Pacificshore Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Oooo me, I want one Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
Drunken Monkey Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 but it does look like you get some really nice coasters with that pack though. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
kempocos Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Fred Villari offers a video program that states you can get all belts even black from home. This is the stuff that causes those do not train to make jokes about Karate. "If you don't want to get hit while sparring , join the cardio class"
equaninimus Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Earlier this year I found dan certs for TKD and Karate, as well as Menkyo Kaiden for Jujutsu on e-bay. Who is more reprehensible.the buyer or the seller? There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm!
Shorinryu Sensei Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I'll tell you what. For a mere $4,000 and you cover the hotel, meals and all transportation, I'll PERSONALLY fly to whereever you are and work with you one-on-one for a whole 30 days, and give you a black belt and certificate at the end of that time. For $7,000, I'll work with you for 45 days and give you a 2nd degree black belt! What a deal, huh? What size belt do you wear? First come, first served...the line starts back there <----------------{{{ No personal checks accepted...VISA and MasterCard spoken here! My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
delta1 Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 but it does look like you get some really nice coasters with that pack though. Monk, you nimnle, those aren't coasters- they're patches! On second thought, maybe you're right. Any way, I'm holding out for the Great Senior Grand Master of Styles package. Freedom isn't free!
