Who?

 

(The "seconds clock" ticking)

 

Hurry, be the first 100 suckers, er callers, within the next thirty seconds!

 

(A whole two minutes later, they are still talking about the product and the "seconds clock" has been "re-started", thus they make the same announcement-again)

It seems like the guy does know his stuff. (O'Sensei Philip Porter)

 

But then again it does seem pretty hard to get 10th Dans in all those styles. In my original art - Shukokai Karate - you would have to have trained for about 50 years AFTER achieving 1st Dan to gain your 10th Dan.

 

But the point still remains that Dans are just Bars on a belt after a while - all it means is kids think you are impressive. Unless you prove yourself, no-one in the know thinks the same.

 

I'm not rubbishin high-ranked individuals ....as long as they have "earned their stripes!"

These guys are making the rest of us look bad.

 

Reading this post reminded me of a couple new commercials i've been seeing on the TV lately. Have you seen the one where everyone is standing in the bathroom, looking at the running sink. they're all talking about how the water has been running all day and someone should turn it off. then at the end someone walks up and turns it off. there's another with trash and a trash can.

 

are we standing in the bathroom complaining, or are we reaching for the faucet?

 

what are we as Martial Artists doing about this epidemic? i personnally haven't done anything but complain, but if anyone has any ideas, or a plan already in action, i'd love to start.
