More or less these people are cons and should be avoided by true seekers of Budo. However it is unfortunate that people who do get caught up in this may not know any better and are sucked into somthing they dont understand resulting in them missing out on somthing that is there for everyone who has the courage to stat training. It is a shame. Thanks for the reply dude.

I agree. But I have seen many newbies get into bad schools, because they have no idea about anything, just think it looks cool. They just don't know better, can't tell a good teacher from a bad yet. That's the problem in Martial Arts, that there is no official authority that sets a number of standards and guidelines.
