Help me, I live next to a Mcdojo

Projects and Investigations Defunct Project Threads

and it is driving me INSANE. :BangHead:

I read bunyip’s assessment of the West Wind dojo in Berkeley, and I was beside myself with laughter. I had seen them before, and something was… off. My fears were confirmed with his investigative work (thank you!!), and I was thoroughly disgusted. Then, lo and behold! I ended up moving next to it!!

I live two doors down from them, and from my desk I can see into the parking lot that they always use (which isn’t even theirs to begin with). I came home today and I saw a new red BMW in the parking lot. I said to my boyfriend: “10 bucks that thing belongs to a West Wind instructor”. I just looked out the window and saw some (chubby) guy run by with his West Wind Instructor shirt on, and where does he go? Right to the new red BMW!!! And that’s on top of the other two BMWs that belong to head instructors, and the two Escalades that have confusing ownership, but belong to West Wind people. The black Escalade belongs to one person (i think), but the White one (that is so new it doesn’t have its own license plates yet) is fiddled with throughout the day by all the different instructors.
I’m sorry, I just think it is highly suspicious that the most prominent instructors there drive luxury vehicles. This is, of course, not the only reason why I question their validity and motivations.

The instructor who teaches in a 3 piece suit is still at it. I’ve seen him in athletic clothing all of about three times, I swear. Another instructor who I have dubbed “karate dork” is always there, barking commands at his students, with his arms behind his back, trying to prove something, and I think he has noticed me. In his black patchwork gi he has a bit of a presence, but buying slurpees at the 7-11 in a pair of sweatpants, it becomes clear that he is, well, a dork. He has caught me spying on him from my window, and I think he was yelling at me the other day when I came home, but i had my headphones in. Several of his students were standing on the street in front of their dojo, in their uniforms, practicing their moves or what have you. Then, and I was the only other person on the street at the time, I saw him gesture and yell in my direction. shudder don’t get your scammy crap on me!

I can actually get on top of their roof from my balcony. That’s how close they are. I will continue to keep my eye on them…

Heh, was going to say that, since I do like playing with fire.
But he lives too close to risk anything like that.

Edit: Y’all know what I meant. :glasses11

Maybe we could buy beka a banner, like a Bullshido banner that proclaims our dedication to exposing fraud in the martial arts. Or maybe beka would catch too much shit.

The irony of this quote is positively staggering.

I’m guessing then it was from Boondock Saints, lol? Haven’t seen it myself.

“…we are a BLACK BELT school.”

This can’t be a mcdojo. I mean even the school itself has a black belt.

Well here’s a bit of a shocker: I don’t know if anyone has noticed from their site, but apparently West Wind Karate has close ties with Pat Morita (Mr. Miagi). What the hell is going on?
