Master "some guy" Toddy is one of the top MT trainers in the US.

which font do I use for sarcasm?

There is a picture of Jason Frank in his White Costume in front of our altar at our school. (the picture itself hangs on a wall with pictures of seminars/gatherings, not in front of the altar)

We should all be so lucky to train with Master Toddy...

You have an altar at your school?

He's legitimate, and actually went to Thailand to train for a bit, but he uses his career in children's television (and that one appearance on MTV's Undressed) to sell himself to kids. That's not bad per se, but it's very easy to see how that can be a turnoff to some people.

American Kenpo schools use pictures of Ed Parker with Elvis to sell themselves to people, does that mean Kenpo sucks? Oh, wait, nm.....

One of the teachers I work with went out to lunch with the guy. I showed her the picture of the Pink Ranger that I keep in my wallet, and she told me her stories. What gets me about the videos on that website though, is what is it supposed to prove posting vids of you kicking the crap out of blue-belts at your school while playng gangsta' rap that says "I ain't sumone to **** wit!" Watching those vids makes me think Frank has anger issues.

I played Laser-Tag with the second Red Ranger. That guy had a trunk full of beer!

Did you try clicking on the "CONTACT US" link, that is usually a dead give away for an address or phone number, in this case it happens to be both with a bomus email address ??

I seriously think that would be an awesome nickname, especially for someone who genuinely is badass.

There's a video of him punching Jose Canseco in the face.

Explain to me why we don't like this guy?

All kidding aside, it looks like he's serious about his Muay Thai training and fighting. He's marketing is suspect, but I wish my kid's school did some of the things that his school appears to do.

Having a children's program does not make you a MC Dojo, Being organized or having a Black Belt club doesnt make you a Mc Dojo.

In my opinion the one thing seperating MC dojo's from real martial arts schools is application.

Most MC dojo's either rarely or never spar or grapple against a resisting opponent and they deliberately trade practical training(Contact) for commercial success.

I have 5 year olds that will slap you in the tighest rear naked choke youve ever been in :)
