i ran a quick search and didnt see this in another thread so excuse the noobness if this has been posted.
I couldnt believe it when i saw it
http://www.east-wind.com/
As far as i can tell it is a direct subsidary of west wind karate, although i have my doubts. Both schools use very similar emblems. Also, from what i gained from the very little info the site offers, like west wind schools there are four free introductory lessons that are used to see if you are suitable. However east wind has yellow belts which west wind does not and so im actually wondering if this place has ripped-off a mcdojo, taking its name and emblem! Now that would be something.
edit: looking at the pictures i would say it almost definately is a subsidiary of west wind. The yellow belts must simply be an inconsistency.
edit 2: heres a link showing the west wind emblem, the only website i can find.

"Even the sparring, which my son won his first gold medal in last year, is NOT a contact sport. It is set up so the winner is the person who can do all the right strikes but pull back just short of hitting the opponent"
It seems it really is becoming a mcdojo in the truest sense. nationwide chains!
anyone in socal wanna go see the new one?
