Rant: Why this people are not more popular?

[RurikGreenwulf]

Getting good at any contact sport, martial or otherwise, requires dedication, a ton of sweat and a good deal of pain. Your average person avoids pain. You can observe this time and time again with regards to the extremely high attrition rate in any full contact sport.

It's all well and good until someone gets hit or crushed.

That's so true, but I'm not asking people to train this intensely but...

If most people train a good martial art lightly then that art would start to cater to people who want it light?
But if a core does it intense could they keep it real and not go the way of TKD and krotty?

[The Question]

Yeah dude **** that **** I hadn't any formal study of english in the last 4 years and I wasnt that good to begin

****. Real talk? How's your speech? Do native speakers understand what you say or do you have to repeat that **** 400 fucking times like I did the last time I was in Central America?

Yo: Senora, lo que yo quisiera saber es que si el dolor es mas grave en la manana o en la tarde.

Ella: Que me deseas una buena tarde? Pues, gracias, chico.

Yo: No, senora. Estoy hablando de su dolor.

Ella: De que amor?

At that point, I was like "you know what, man. **** it. **** all that ****". Not to mention when I tried to understand what motherfuckers were saying

El Preceptor: Leiste cancer gastrico?

Yo: Que si me hicieron cancer gastrico?

El: No, si leiste cancer gastrico?

Yo: Como?

El: Pues...

Y por fin, me di cuenta de lo que me estaba hablando

Yo: Si, Si. Ah, lo siento, no le entendia a usted. Si, lo lei. Estaba esperando que hablaramos de ello.

**** was mostly like that. So fucking frustrating.

****, off topic rant, sorry.

Well, because the instructors themselves are lazy as ****. They are lazy and didn't train for ****, so they don't know **** except the easily accessible old karatay.

But **** are they good at marketing. Some of those motherfuckers could sell ***** to a pimp. So they ensnare motherfuckers who grew up watching Martial Arts movies and wanting to kick ass. That's how I spent 4 years doing some god awful Choy Li Fut. Motherfuckers kept talking **** about "finding the way of the chinese" and "spiritual enlightenment" among all other kinds of bullshit.

Damn, sometimes I wanted to buss that ************'s head so bad.

.

The NGO I worked had some USA volunteers I could talk with them and I did it often
They complimented my english a couple of times like you have a good level of english and such but I could see they would take a second or so to really understand what I meant. I took every chance I got to improve my english with them.

And yeah I agree with you there are some really good at the shitty markeeting I know a couple who are almost cult like mentality you know I talk with them I post on facebook
"gonna do some MT" and they are like "what ! If all you want is medals then with Kyokushin and MT you are gonna be the best but spiritual side of MA bullshit, inner peace greater meaning **** come to our mcdojo"

You catch my drift?

The national judo coach teaches a couple of days a week in a gym a few blocks from my house the fee is the same that a free pass in a MMA gym in either Latorre's MMA academy or the one my cousin went to fight (1200 pesos/ month)

I think a big part of it that hasn't been addressed is that John Q Public is under the impression that a black belt in anything makes you a lethal killing machine, so they see a lame krotty blackbelt and assume that he's training people properly. Then there's the issue that most people like to avoid pain and conflict. Put those together and its not too surprising that lame corporate martial arts are low contact and generally lame.
