I started this thread because i would like some input on why some people train is it for themselves or because they are so entertained by old martial folklore and great dragon Taming masters. Many Kwoons Which i have visited in the past have begun their presentation of the school by sitting me down and showing me pictures of themselves performing and their late masters and their lineage and so forth I call these Sifu's -"pimps". Because they use martial arts as their Prostitute to make money. I mean I understand the importance of history and all but if someone is looking to join your school what should matter is how good your training is not who you trained with. Cuz truly i dont care what the previous generation can do i want to know what you can do and how well can you do it. SO many sifu's today act as pimps sitting behind their desk raking in the cash and no longer training but then walk into places demanding respect i say beware of the arm chair warriors.
