MASIsshinryu Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 " Looking forward to my 35th degree Black Belt, Mr. Zippy"sorry but 35th degree black belts are sold out at the moment Fine, I'll just pay the extra $175, and go right to 36th degree, under the "Monday Internet Special" program. Unfortunately, I think things of this nature cheapen the Martial Arts in general, and injure the credibility of legitimate instructors. The general public, perhaps those looking to start an MA program, will get a badly skewed idea of training from this sort of promotional material. Sickening.

Grenadier Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Sad indeed. Unfortunately, though, many folks don't realize that it takes years of training, and conditioning (both physical and mental) to get to that echelon that they had hoped to achieve. There's simply no substitute for experience and conditioning. Furthermore, they also don't realize that the "one size fits all" aspect just might not be for them. As long as there are impatient people out there, there will be a market for this guy's wares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a rematch then! I didn't watch Enter The Dragon 47 times, AND read Chuck Norris' biography just to take crap from martial artists like you. Think yer so special because you "train" and have an "instructor". Phh...bet you can't learn your techniques and eat a sandwich at the same time like I can. To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
