Is That Karate School You Want to Join a McDojo? 4 Warning Signs to Watch Out For!
Summary
The term "McDojo" has become popular in martial arts circles as a derogatory label for certain types of martial arts schools. But what makes a school a McDojo, and why should you, as a martial arts enthusiast, care? This article will explain what a McDojo is and offer advice on how to avoid joining one.
As martial arts surged in popularity with icons like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and shows like the Power Rangers, many saw an opportunity to turn these disciplines into profitable businesses. While some schools offer quality programs with skilled instructors, others fall under the category of McDojos. Here’s how to spot them.
4 Warning Signs of a McDojo
1. Aggressive Sales Tactics
Upon entering, if you’re immediately pressured to open your wallet or hand over your credit card before discussing the actual programs, be wary.
2. Multiplicity Overload
Excessive belts, stripes, uniforms, patches, and high-kicks can indicate a focus on quantity over quality. Be cautious of too many upgrade programs for the same curriculum.
3. Rigid Contracts
Being locked into long-term contracts without escape clauses for life changes like job losses or relocations is a red flag. Reputable schools will offer flexibility and understanding.
4. Unrealistic Promises
Promises of quick self-defense mastery or black belts within a year can be misleading. Quality martial arts require time and dedication, not shortcuts.
