Is This a McDojo or Belt Factory?
Friday, May 01, 2009
In an era where names such as "McDojo", and "Belt Factory" have become names for some martial arts schools, I think it is more important than ever that Instructors and schools lead by example with integrity.
I belong to a group of martial artists that believe...
the business of martial arts is to make a difference;
that the purist of genuine mastery is more important
than clever marketing; and that real self-defense is
more than just technique.
Where did we learn this from? Grand Master Richard Na.
My affiliate students and I at our Arizona, Illinois and Wisconsin locations are proud to call him our teacher, mentor and role model.
Actions speak louder than words and Master Na's example earns our ongoing respect and admiration.
For those wise enough to do your due dilligence, you will be glad you did.
