"Dragon Dojo stays in the shadows" or "How the heck am I supposed to review schools?"

It should be, they should fear. And they do fear because they know they are ****, if they were good then it would only bring good business.

you know, if you reviewed the average judo school based on one free class, you might get a review that went something like, "Judo is bullshit all you do is roll backwards and slap the mat"

Well, if the advanced class did that all session, then yes, I would say that.

Nice to know these reviews CAN make a difference. Looking forward to your review on the Dragon place.

I think you still can do a review of Dragon Dojo but your probably going to need to wait a few months. Give the guy time to completely forget about you and then just show up one day and ask to watch a class and take a free class. Does this guy know your name? I wouldn't call him on the phone again, just walk in off the street one day when you know classes are going on with a cover story and see how things are run.

The Dragon Dojo guys were smart enough to realize that this wasn't going to end well for them. Not all are. Having said that, the whole 'I don't want you talking about us on the hostile Internet' thing is just laughable.

Perhaps a better tactic next time is -- "Your dojo and it's practices are being reviewed based on your website and an open call to anyone who has ever studied with you. You have the choice of allowing me in to do an unbiased review, or not. If not, then I will record your reluctance to do so, and the obvious conclusion will be that you have something to hide. If so, then I am prepared to show up and train with an open mind, and will present a first hand account of my time in your dojo."

Site a few links where that has happened, to prove that Bullshido will actually do that. I can't remember which places, but there were a couple that went really well for the dojo/teacher in question.

Is resurrecting this thread a bad thing?

Seems Kai never got the review of Dragon Dojo done. I might be up to the task myself. I just found out about this site from Meerkatsu's facebook.

Dragon Dojo is just down the road for me and the school seems interesting... They claim to teach BJJ but their instructors don't seem have any belts in BJJ... whaaaaa???

Anyway, thanks for any help you all could be. Lets hope for a clearing out of PC!!!
