I lost count of how many different topics that regularly get mentioned on MAP feature in this story, bullying instructors, UK laws on consent and assault, real self defence: http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2012/03/notes-from-the-front-line-going-the-way-of-the-dojo/ Quick note: Matt Delito isn't the guys real name and not all the stories are his, they get edited together from a few tales with the details tweaked to keep him anonymous.
Must ask my instructor if he's ever told a story to a guy who writes a blog, as some of the stuff on there sounds exactly like how he'd act!
Great story, thanks for posting it. That "instructor" sounds like a real piece of work. I'm amazed people like that get any students.
Doesn't sound like a dojo I'd like to join. That instructor 'John' sounds like a narcistic fruitcake to me.
