gateqway Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Sup all, I'm new. I joined cos i found alot of forum topics in this site are quite interesting. Anyways, look forward to talking to you people soon.Just to ask for favor to help me blend in, I got a few questions:What's a Mcdojo? keep seeing it in discussions. Most people’s compassion and kindness are bounded by threats of their interest. People respond to irritancies will dire actions and speech, which is magnified by grudge, competitiveness and fear.

Isshinryu_heart Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Welcome!A McDojo is a name for a chain dojo, or any dojo that is focused more on sucking students' money than teaching a martial art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit At Choice Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Welcome! You'll find that McDojo means different things to different people. I think Sohan did it justice, though. Essentially it boils down to "selling" belts above providing quality instruction.Some people also label dojos teaching multiple arts, and dojos that are part of a chain, as McDojo. White belt mind. Black belt heart....Rejoice and be glad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
