EF, I can see your point. You are right in some ways but, in all seriousness, if someone comes on and says "I do McDojo Karate, what do you think?" then it seems logical to tell them what we think.
But it is a shame that woman didn't stay around. Maybe she would have learnt ina few weeks what took me 20 years.

But who decides what is McDojo and what's not, just because it is TKD it doesn't have to be a McDojo
If someone sez I'm doing style A and want to do something on the side and someone else replies that style A is crap and he or she should stop training it, that what I would call inapropriate, it seems some of us here still have such a high hatred against traditional arts that they do not accept it when someone tells them they have used it
It doesn't matter somehow that eForce used TKD in the streets and won the fight TKD is still crap in these peoples perspection
But somehow never come with the right arguments
In the thread about which kicks are harder I tried to give 1 argument why snapkicks could be harder, no-one disputed the arguments or game with arguments for the MT kick but in the end still say MT is harder.
A lot of BS arguments are used in a lot of threads
based on what people SEE in MMA events they form an opinion but then when some tells them he or she SAW someone use styleA in the streets it is nonsense
Tell the possitives of your art but do not diss the others, this is at least one lesson the trad have learned and most modernist overhere haven't
Bri you are right though that she would most likely have learned more in a couple of weeks here than in a year at her Dojo.
nag nag nag darn how I do drag on lately
