foreveryoung001 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 It depends on the mcdojo and the quality and content of the teaching. Sometimes more harm than good can happen So now we are getting into different levels of McDojos? I suppose it's a loaded question since the definition of McDojo seems to be pretty subjective. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.

thaiboxerken Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Ask him when you get to hit pads. Ask him if you get to spar in a relatively short amount of time. Ask him if the sparring is point/hit or if it's continuous. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

superleeds Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I am perhaps a bit biased, but you should definetly check out a chito-ryu dojo. All chito-ryu dojo's are non profit. Read a book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaG Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Ask him if Ki or a "1-touch KO" exists. Researching ki does not make you a McDojo... dismissing it out of hand makes you closed-minded. 1 touch KO... yeah *... 1 STRIKE KO... c'mere and let me show you!

AngelaG Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 [ 1 touch KO... yeah *... 1 STRIKE KO... c'mere and let me show you! That is the DIFFERENCE Yeah but some dojos call is 1 touch KO, when in reality they mean a blow, not a poke with the finger. (Which is more "1 touch irritation technique).
