Frequently, I get asked about certifications, systems or methods. We made a decision a long time ago of purposely staying away from things like this. Obviously, its a no-brainer, money maker and its not that I dont want to make money; but our purpose was to give you real training on the real stuff. Certifications and acronyms lead to a false sense of security and theres a fine line between sense of accomplishment and sense of security. Personally, no matter how many black belts and certifications I have- I can always find people 10 feet outside my dojo who could care less. That and 5 bucks can get you a venti, no caff, half caff, caramel mochachinno deluxe, no whip of course. I may be beating a dead horse.. but its about the TRAINING. Training and practice is what counts. Now ITS NOT YOUR FAULT that you search for this stuff. You have been conditioned with certifications, acronyms black belt clubs and all that. The only thing thats good for is padding your resume. We aint about that. If you want something to hang on your wall- buy a mirror and take a long hard look in it. If you like what you see and you are true to your training thats what matters. We have been thinking of naming the system. Carl thought of this, I didnt. Its going to be called: Fierce Unarmed Combat Karate Instinctive Training. You figure it out. Copyright 2003 www.thetruthaboutselfdefense.com |
