ninja ninja for many years i was the pride of my master his number one student then i left his temple when i saw how he was selling out and trying to sell dreams and belts to ppl. This brought tears to my eyes but then i got over it i thought how am i to mess up his business right. So i left and saw him fall little be little. Then i saw how he tried to make some a few ppl in to black belts in one year so that he can have a chain of school. ninja ninja ninja ninja this is what i call a bad story. pirate pirate i posted this up because i only see that people only talk about the good stuff about martial arts but they never talk about things like how a dojo falls, how masters sell out etc.. tell me your bad story how your master did you wrong or what bad things you have seen in the martial art world peace out..

Well, what you mentioned just reminded me of some people I know from an unnamed style/school, that seems to get complains from former disciples for its lack of effectiveness and general pathetic performance in combat.
I have to admit that the current standard that they had ( ok, the 'current standard' more than 4-5 years ago ... when I last saw them. ) was rather low despite the originally high standard I saw from the early batches they had, due to poor quality control ( some are just darn good while some are really pathetic ) in the lessons/training sessions, as well as the generally poor attutide towards combat. ( and lack of discipline. )
Ironically, there were many principles mentioned, shown or used in that style/school, that could be put into actual practical usage if the students did put more effort into understanding and applying them ... instead of conjuring their own quirky methods of sparring ... ( Thus creating a large divide between the older batches and the newer batches. )
Too bad, I have lost contact with them and don't really know if they are still around. ( Or whether the instructor has overcome this obstacle caused that those batches of poorly-taught students influencing the ones joining later, slowly degrading the general quality of the school ... )

Sometimes martial arts does seem to go comercial, ((mine is a bit im afriad but sensei does hie best to show application/bunkai, and to get us to think- around brown belt test are harder because the instructors are no longer making it easy, because they expect)) so when people say" oh im such and such belt" I wonder how hard there test was, how long, and how well/fairly they were judged.
All though I did hear something along these lines, that west practice for more sports like martial arts, and east is more traditional- And that when a westerner travels east to practice, sometimes they get what they expect: A series of forms to practice and remember, not the philosophy or spirit of it. (perhaps this is something of a journey within the self?))

I was in Shotokahn Karate for 3 years with the same instructor nevar missed a day of class always showing up giving my best (got patches for it too ^^) and through out the three years i saw people come and go and my sensei was meaning for it to be more towards adult classes but more and more children (between 10-13) started joining and the more that kids came the more some of the adults would leave until it became solely a teen class only. I was the oldest being 17 by my 2nd year and one other older than me being 20 then sensei being ..whatever his age was....but then the teen would invite their friends and they started to goof off more and more and my sensei would try and discipline them but, you know you can only do so much but after a while he noticed it was only I and the other assistant instructor cared about discipline and what my sensei taught, so one day before session he told me that we weren't gonna have it that day, so i said ok, and skipped that class, and the next time class was about to begin sensei nevar showed up, so after a while everyone started to leave, and then the next session he didn't show again, and then the next and the next, and that was the last time we had it.. really sucked

It hurts... I've had my share of stories. But just look past it. People will always disappoint and will always make you proud. Just need to find the right person. Just think positive and focus on yourself. You'll train better and become better. Turn that negativity into inspiration to make you train harder, better, faster, and stronger.
