Now I've never had any martial art training in one of those places, just what the government gave me.
That does not look like a "conducive" learning environment. Maybe I just don't get it. |

Looks like a good place to earn a BB, IMHO.
Too many schools give those things out like candy. The best way to learn how to defend yourself against a big, mean asshole, is to get hit by a big mean asshole. |

If it was a black belt tests... some places' black belt tests involve you actually facing something you can't handle, and taking a beating in the process. I'm not defending it, just saying that it's not a reasonable representation of what an everyday class would be like. I know it's a different sort of organization, but if I recall, the Chute Box black belt test consists of you fighting every other black belt for something like 30-40 minutes STRAIGHT. |

I want my child pushed like this. My little girl (now 13) is in gymnastics for cheerleading and we push her hard just like this (yelling, screaming, tears the whole nine yards). She is captain of the team this year and improving every game. She loves to cheer and has the potential for a scholarship in a few years. She wants it, we push her so she doesn't cheat herself out of it in pity.
That curl up in a ball and the beating stops when the crying starts dojo is not where I would want my children learning. Don't let them start being quitters and they won't become one. That boy was pushed to the limit by an opponent he couldn't win against. He learned not to quit. He was made better. |

We've been at this since 2001 when she went from barely making midget league and being shy, to Captaining one of the best middle school squads in southern WV. We progress as she feels comfortable. We started with a back handspring, and she is landing layouts now. When she is comfortable with that we will move her along to a half, then a full. She provides drive, the energy, and the interest, we don't let her feel sorry for herself, or let her slack off and tell her it will work out (we all know if you quit you lose). She has the option to stop at the end of each season. If she chooses to go forward, she must see that season to the end. No quitting. She will be back in the backline, on the ends next season as a freshman on the varsity squad (that is preparing for states now) but she will be on the squad, and she earned it. It makes me proud to know she now understands that her hard work has put her into a position that gives her a sense that she has accomplished something. Too many soft people acting tough, and raising soft kids that will be soft just like them. Of course we only blame sheep for that right? |

I put my son and daughter in Kempo Karate. They both worked hard and 4 yrs later they achieved there Black Belts. They went through many forms and techniques,sticks, swords,sythes and other stuff. They have a basic concept of self defence. There Instructors impressed self discipline and character. It helped mold them in ways I could not.

You were saying? You're right, the little kid was a pussy he should have put the guy in a submission hold. He was obviously very ready for the challenge after being taught advanced ground techniques and had excellent fighting form he should have used those skills.
Poor kid is now a fighter for life he'll never be able to snuggle with his girl.

Where was the martial arts in that bullshit?!
By posting comments in support of this "training" method you reveal you know shit about martial arts, or how to effectively train/teach it. Some of your are certifiably insane.

But what those kids are learning is fighting spirit, which is far more valuable than executing the perfect side kick. They're getting pushed to their limits and beyond. Looked like an awesome dojo to me. They were putting those boys through a rite of passage. I went to a suburban strip mall white boy dojo as a kid––-loved my teacher, I learned nice crisp technique, got my brown belt but couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag. I didn't learn to really fight until I took kickboxing classes with a big mean black dude who taught me by kicking my ass on a regular basis––-he taught me fighting spirit. My judo experience is the same––-black belts whooping my butt, making me fight them when I thought I had nothing left. Those are the only schools worth going to. |

The instructor posted his comment at the top somewhat explaining what point he was trying to make.
Seems he's trying to teach them real-world self-defense that may be useful in the streets of Philadelphia. That being said, I've never taken any form of martial arts. Sure, the instructor doesn't seem preoccupied or concerned with the technical aspects of it, but maybe these kids need to know what it's like being up against a bigger and stronger, unrelenting opponent. break em down, and build them back up. |
