XMA I don't get it.
 

So, I'm watching ESPN2 and they have XMA. They are doing forms to music, and it looks more like dance, or I guess Karate with Jazz hands. Can anyone tell me more about why this is done? It's a bit too far from the origins for me.

Flash 'n' trash.

You are being politicaly correct by using "a bit", that is perversion itself http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/mad.gif, i call for an inquisition against the McDojoism in all its forms, always hated there combos anyway. Who's with me.

It's disturbing, isn't it?

thank you for clearing that up. thats what i thought it might be but i wanted to be sure.

Yeah that's basically how i felt. The jazz hands really had me cracking up.

BLEAAHHHHH!!!! Sorry, I'll clean up my vomit now.

All it is is people doing stunts with martial arts...nothing more.

I remember a guy doing some bo kata to the 'Mortal Komat' theme, and to that song from 'Rocky'.

"Hi, welcome to McDojo, do you want to jump grades with that? Or you can upsize to a dan grade for only $1.99 more..."

McDojo refers to shonky dojos that are basically grading factories without the effort. E-Budo has a nice sub-forum called "Bad Budo" which highlights all that is wrong with some of these places.

sorry about the following post. it is extremely dumb. dont read it if you dont feel like laughing at me



post: i am unfamiliar with the term Mcdojo. can you please explain?
