I keep seeing discussions around the web about McDojo’s and if they exist or not so I wanted to ask:
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?

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.
