or they're just con men tricking people into following their useless bullshit
- viraptor 10y agoWhat's wrong with art? Not every runner trains to compete world class. Not every dancer wants to join competitions. Tai Chi is still popular with people who wouldn't be able to fight and gives them joy - even though the moves do come from fighting stances. You just need the keep enough sense not to challenge other people to fight you. I don't see a reason to call this bullshit.
- dagw 10y agoWhat's wrong with art? Absolutely nothing. It's great. The problem is that far too many McDojos are offering exercise while claiming to teach deadly fighting techniques. The problem is not the art, it's the delusion.
