Most martial arts academies market their style as the authentic, the original , and on and on…. What is more important is the practical application of the art.

What does this require?

It requires constant testing of the move, style, or art on a daily basis. Only through testing will you understand the reality and function of your skill. For most people, this is a impossible.

If you have ever watched the trials of the American Idol, you can imagine there are thousands of people who are unable to sing in tune. Yet, these contestants sing in front of the judges and usually get hammered by Simon.

In the same vein, most martial arts academies praise their students and accelerate their programs for the sake of money. We have had those “black belt” students and our white belt students usually defeats their skills in seconds.

It really comes down to caring about the students.
