aefibird Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 McDojo= a slang term used by many martial artists, especially on these forums, to describe a 'money-making' or 'sub-standard' martial arts club. Usually McDojo's are 'belt factory' type establishments - students receive grades based on their length of time training and how many sessions attended, not necessarily on how good or bad they are or whether they have the skills to hold that particular grade.

Yeah, the better emphasis-"belt factory". Who has the most money get promoted the most quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beiner Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yeh the dojo Im in has small class sizes, and even the orange belts are helping me immensily. Lots of fun, and we have like 2 instructors to 8 people, then a couple black belts who help but don't teach. Its awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
