ncole_91 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 A fake Dojo, a dojo that only a purpose to steal your money, and wont teach you anything proper or valuble. You might get a new belt every month, and not be learning anything.... I think that sums it up, anyone else wanna add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snazzed Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 There are a ton of posts about McDojos and what seperates them from the real thing. Just do a search in thr Forums. It's aaaaaallllll in there... repeatedly.snazzed 4yr Shotokan, 2yr Hapkido, 1mth Chito-Ryu.The Hapkido place devolved into a McDojo during my stay."Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand."

JusticeZero Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 A kwoon, dojo, or equivalent which uses well practiced business tactics to have a polished image, but which provides training of very inferior quality and inflated, valueless rankings. Typically, but not always, these are expensive as well. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenadier Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Such places often times lure the impatient by promising black belts in short time periods, without putting forth diligent efforts. Unfortunately, since many people can fall prey to this, such places will always have a clientele that will make them decent money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 The reason they are called MCdojos is because they offer 'drive through' black belts.... want fries with that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifersdad Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 we have a chain of McDojo's near me,i know a guy that got his second dan in 6 months!!!!!and its not unheard of for 8th kyu's to be given there own clubs, wear black belts and tell there students its rude to ask your instructor his grade! i dare not mention their name as they have already (un-successfully) tried sueing the e.k.g.b. because they called them "cowboys" in a news letter...... sticks and stones may break my bones, but i am trained to kill you.
