I keep seeing discussions around the web about McDojo’s and if they exist or not so I wanted to ask:
Loading ...In fact, some people get downright pissed off by this topic.
What, in your mind, makes a martial arts school a McDojo? Do you think All Professional Martial Arts Schools are McDojos?

I'm Ryan Wheaton and I work with martial arts school owners to help them attract more students. Many martial arts school owners are confused at how to best market their business and feel awkward in selling situations. I help them overcome those challenges to become confident and competent in marketing and selling their services - helping them become more profitable so they can live the lifestyle they want to live.
Absolutely yes. I’ve seen them, I’ve trained in them, and I think they give all of us hard working, honest, integrity-filled martial artists who are trying to do the right thing a bad name. I’ve seen SO many martial artists over the years just “given” rank. It’s sad, but they are out there.
In My days it took 5-8 years to get a black Belt today less then one year and you are a black belt, more importance is given to belts then the training itself.
