Welcome to McDojo's, Home of the premature Black Belt...
Ok anyways how many McDojo's have you seen in your lifetime?
I used to go to one when I was 5 and then to the same one, only it moved to a different building, when I was 8. It was my first initial contact with TKD, and I'll never forget the failure it was. I remember all the stupid things that the "trainee instructor" had us do, and the original instructor just sat in his office doing paper work all the time. She ran us through drills that white belt little kids have an extremely hard time enjoying. Very hard, muscle training drills, and there were so many kids that quit when they moved to another building. And get this: a few years ago, the guy who owned the school just left with everybody's money, never to be seen again:idunno: . I think it was back in like 1996 or 1995. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I think he went bankrupted, or so he said and then he ran with everyone's money. I never made it past yellow belt both times I enrolled because the school was so cheap and I remember I wasn't ready for that level anyways.
Now get this: An official ATA school gets opened up in the same section of the shopping center in like 1996 or 1997. THey beat that guy's butt in sales and in producing great black belts and martial artist. This is the school I attend now. It is no McDojo's and the level of intensity can be difficult sometimes, but I enjoy it and am ready to beat the challenge. :jedi1:
I just find it funny the other guys didn't do all that well, and now the ATA school is flurishing...heh...McDojo's don't stay in business too long when they don't make it easy. LOL. The McDojo's I know of around here have alot of fun in their classes, but make life way too easy, even for black belts. I like things complicated, not McDojo's style.
Thank you for ordering from McDojo's...Please come again...LOL
