Q: What is a McDojo or Belt Factory?

​

A: a) Usually schools whose sole goal is to part you from your money without ever imparting any real Marital Arts knowledge.
b) Having a sign up fee ranging anywhere from $25-$100 for just filling out some paper work.
c) Lengthy contracts that lock you into paying for lessons for 3-5 years (i.e.black belt program) at a time. (non-refundable)
d) Rank or belt tests every month or two.
e) Rank certificates are already made out before you even test passing you, then why even take a test?
f) Will promise you a Black Belt in less than 3 years.
g) Doesn't want you to look into the instructor’s background or speak with their former instructors. (Run, may have something to hide.)
h) Promotes themselves or has their own students promote them. (A martial art school in the local area had his students vote to make him a 4th Degree Black Belt. Unheard of in any LEGITIMATE martial arts school. Students DO NOT promote their instructors!)
i) Makes up their name and lineage or changes it to have the appearance and sound of a traditional martial art.
j) You end up exercising for most of the class instead of being taught what you paid for.
k) The instructor never performs in front of the class and has lower ranking students teach.
l) Lower ranking (white thru green belt) students are teaching others during the class.
m) Has 7 year old brown or black belts.
n) Claims to have trained students or has "state, national or international titles" from martial art competitions with no documentation.

p) The Instructor/Owner will not discuss class fees/rates, class length, or type of art being taught over the phone.

o) Is very evasive when discussing their school and background.

q) Has Certificates or Certifications from organizations you can find on the internet, by sending in a fee anyone can receive any ranking they wish or states to have training in some types of martial arts.
