The term 'real deal' is brought up often here, probably due to the number of not so great martial art teachers out there who dupe people. But what does this term really mean? S/He sucks but has legitemate lineage? H/She is great but not good at business? Teaches stuff that kills, has good basics, knows the history, can fight...? what does this term mean. Becuase depending on the definition many of us here could fit into the category or definitely be outside of it. If many of us could fit into it then why would such a term be used as marketing for a seminar? If many of us do not fit the 'real deal' bill the seriously will a seminar change a thing?
Are we so desparate to be associated with someone legitimate, that we lose confidence in just letting our skill, knowledge, understanding and growth speak for itself? What is this 'real deal' thing?
