Matt Stone
Master of Arts
Threads in other fora have seemingly exposed some folks (or at least the arts they either study or teach) to be questionable at very best.
This forum exists to serve a function. That function is to educate others on this board as to the experiences you have had regarding bad instructors, bad schools, questionable styles, etc.
We need to perform this service, within the guidelines of Martial Talk's policies, to better inform those with whom we interact of frauds and scam artists out there preying on the ignorant newcomers to martial arts in general.
Most of us got lucky and found good instructors. Many folks are not so lucky, and through no fault of their own get taken for a ride by unethical people selling their alleged martial arts for the best price they can get.
Let's all work together to make our individual and global martial arts communities better places.
