GhostlySykanRyu Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 I was fooling around on ebay, and found this...read the red print for a good laugh! Instructor won't promote you? No need! I can't believe that there's an organization out there that'll support that...Sorry if I'm breaking any forum rules in posting the link, but since I'm obviously not making any $ off of this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16044&item=7144455177&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
Shorin Ryuu Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 "This is a private listing. Your identity will not be disclosed to anyone except the seller. " <===I got a kick out of that part.I've learned not to be too disgusted by all the quick-and-easy scams out there or by places that I've seen that teach crappy martial arts. If people want to buy those and delude themselves, that's fine by me. If people want to run crappy dojo and teach crappy martial arts, then there's nothing I can do. They wouldn't be doing these things unless people were there to buy into them.Yes, I suppose it does offend the "warrior" in me and makes me a bit indignant, but I'm not going to get too put off by it. I just smile and content myself with the knowledge that I train in a genuine art and try to spread the knowledge of it to those around me. What's more, it really does highlight the relatively arbitrary nature of a ranking system, anyway, even in "traditional" martial arts. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
Slydermv Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Awww well, let someone waste their money on a piece of paper that don't mean jack...
ShotokanKid Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 That's messed up. "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."

vertigo Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 awwww sweet I always wanted to get ranked in ninjustu thanks for the link :lol:Nahh, this doesn't really bug me too much. It's more of an eye-roll reaction. If someone really wants to pay $35 for a piece for a worthless piece of paper. Whatever...Kinda sad that there are people who would buy this, but what are you gonna do? "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T. S. Eliot
Shorinryu Sensei Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 awwww sweet I always wanted to get ranked in ninjustu thanks for the linkLook at the blowup of the certificate closely...the description says ninjuitsu, but the certificate says shotokan karate.

I used to have one way back when. Sold it in '76 for $500!!! My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
