What motivates fake martial artists?
.
These so-called “instructors” earn a fair amount of money by simply lying to their students. In every class, they are selling a fake story about how great their fighting skills are, while in reality, they don’t know how to throw a punch the right way, and they move with the fluidity of a sack of potatoes.
.
They’ve set up their martial arts school just so they can feed their own ego, and of course, make the young people believe their ….. BS.
.
These martial arts instructors, who may or may not possess real knowledge and skills, but nonetheless fool people with unrealistic and worthless tutelage, to glorify their egos and wallets.
.
They are sometimes charismatic individuals, who have the willingness to con others out of their money and insult your intelligence, just by being able to talk the talk.
.
The crime of soliciting fake martial arts is an ambiguous venture and is not entirely the evil creation of cynical crooks, but rather, a ‘product’ which has been designed to meet the needs of many potential ‘customers’, in which both sides play along willingly (in most cases at least).
.
These inauthentic instructors like to show off. They have high opinions of themselves and they want to make sure everyone around them sees how great they are. When in fact they are just the opposite. They believe their own hype, and do not see any flaws in what they are doing or what they are teaching. They usually are the owners of the ‘best karate’.
.
They view others as being beneath them and are often the peacock of their group, the one who is strutting and bragging, and who can’t stand it when others show them up, or try to teach them something new. They have wrapped themselves in a bogus façade and they believe their own lies.
.
The fake martial arts instructor, as ridiculous as he may appear, tends to fulfill the role of the ‘all knowing coach’ – a person of some authority, who is supposed to help the student transcend the mundane, teach you how to ‘fight’, and in so doing obtain meaning.
