mc dojos and the like

[Withers M.A.A.]

Iron Arahat I totally disagree with you. Competition is great for many reasons and it has its place. Musical forms are VERY entertaining and difficult to perfom and they help create interest in the Martial Arts for new or potentially new students. Not every aspect of the martial arts needs to be combat oriented. Because a school teaches sport karate does not make it a McDojo in any way shape or form so long as it only supplements the true martial art.

Maybe those who like the entertainment value of musical patterns should buy Darrin's Dance groves, and you could add some N'Sync moves to your next routine. You could add in a pop and lock routine.

 

Six foot trophies for a made up pattern using the Village People Soundtrack....McDojo.

 

Funky uniforms for demo team....McDojo.

 

Musical kata...the sycronized swimming of the martial arts.

The ancient masters saw this coming.

 

That's why they were reluctant to teach the martial arts to the west.

 

Not all people who do martial arts are going to be traditionalists. Some of them are going to wear sequined jumpsuits and do flying kicks through flaming hoops.

 

I think you may be a bit jealous of Darrin and his funky dance grooves.

 

You may want to get in touch with your feminine side and bust a move or two when nobody's watching...
