Dear Rob, I hope you enjoy this gem, however I do suggest his “how to fight multiple attackers” video , it’s amazing. th-cam.com/video/4dJETuTvClY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oHBNW-m-0iTx_Cbi
It makes me sick as true student of Shotokan, I wish I could have gentle kindhearted sparring session with this fraud. My blood boils when I see this being done to children. Keep exposing these people. You are a true asset to the Martial Arts community.
Here in Portugal the requirements for martial arts in general are: - at least a 1st degree black belt (recognized by its respective federation) or the equivalent in certain styles like 5 amateur fights in boxing; - at least 18 yo (here the adulthood is that age); - 12th grade, which is the mimimum school here; - a coach with higher level title who'll examine your internship (if you train in a dojo your sensei or anyone else there with higher title level should be able to do that task) Some sports and martial arts here only have 2 or 3 levels of coach title, being the last one to specialize in some specific area of it. All of them need to be approved by our sports institute and an association is on charge to give these courses. In the case of karate it has 4 levels and the specialization is either basic techniques (kihon), forms (kata) or sparring (kumite). The association in charge gives the courses regardless of the candidates' karate styles.
I seriously believe in background check, no children touchers, no women beaters, assault man to man(should be reviewed first), in martial arts, should be able to pass a test of some sort in that art, of training.
For those curious, the Nepal calendar added many more years than the western calender. They're in the year 2081 at the time of this writing. Beautiful country, terrible hotbed for cults.
Minimum pre-reqs: 1. Background check 2. BLS card, some basic splinting and head injury care/first aid 3. Be knowledgeable about whatever your art is and be honest. Nunchaks are cool af but not going to help you be the deadliest ninja since Thee Count Dante believed he was.
I trained in Taekwondo as a youngster from 1999 - 2006 and was psychologically and emotionally abused by my instructor during that time. He also physically abused me three times, once at a competition in Belgium in April 2001 by slapping me in the face for not attending a team meal the night before. Being a kid at the time I had no idea I was being abused until many years later when I began workings with vulnerable adults and began learning about abusive practices and safeguarding. I sent my old instructor an email telling him what I thought of him and his abusive ways, only for him to then conduct a smear campaign against me, try to turn the whole UK taekwondo community against me and then doubled up with a McDojo school called "black rhino martial arts" where they made a video about me, saying how i was a bad person. I've come to realise that martial arts produces some of the most vile individuals you'll likely ever meet.
Actually a pretty tough question. The more specialized something is, the less feasible it is to have some kind of regulatory body overseeing its instruction. Easy enough to answer "a black belt and a background check," but what if the art in question doesn't use belts for rank? And who ensures the background check is completed, valid and up to date? Seems pretty unrealistic to have the police verify every organization and individual providing lessons to ensure its instructors are above board. Ultimately it seems it must come down to the students (or the parents of the students if they are minors) to make sure the instructor is legitimate, which may not always be easy. I was once given a job at a music studio teaching piano based solely on a reference and my own ability to play, and proceeded to spend the next couple years working alone in small rooms with children. Thankfully I'm not a dirtbag, but my point is this problem isn't limited to just martial arts, but anything that requires in-person and/or one-on-one instruction.
People should have a general understanding of pedagogy before applying it to the specifics of martial arts. That is a first step in becoming a good instructor
Question of the day: I don't mind if the teacher is a purple belt, as long as they are consistently training and continuing to excell in what they are teaching with the promise of staying better than me. Connections and ties to other dojo help with the idea of being taught by a new dojo under such a level to have confidence in what I am paying for. Background access to the instructor would be great too. And at least being vouched by another martial arts instructor that is teaching my instructor. I need to be confident in my teacher for what I am learning. But if he is not improving, or training, then I am not sticking around to get scammed if they aren't working hard in martial arts.
AOTD: In my martial arts schools, there is a teaching degree separate from the dan ranking, and in some cases it’s awarded by a separate test to prove you know and understand the material and can effectively pass it on. But my schools are part of larger organizations with things like standards and regulations. You don’t need to be a college graduate or have any survival or first aid training (I personally do) but those things aren’t bad. But Japanese organizations, especially older ones, require that you be a good person and upstanding citizen or they’ll kick you out. I’ve seen teachers who were not good people or upstanding citizens get kicked out. Those people try to start their own schools anyway, and their legitimacy can easily be called into question
I think martial arts instructors should definitely have a background check. If they are currently on probation or have a previous record of incarceration, then they shouldn't be allowed to teach kids. They also should have at least a black belt recognized from an accredited and established school, organization, and federation. They should have their background, experience, curriculum, rules, and expectations ready to be handed out on request. Having a teaching degree is a plus, but if the teacher took a couple of teaching classes and courses offered at a college level, that's fine to. Basically, the teacher should go above and beyond regarding transparency and communication. Sorry if this post is too long.
I believe the bare minimum requirements to be a school owner/instructor are to be a legitimate black belt (even maybe at least a 2nd or 3rd degree in some styles). Then have proof of lineage dating back to the beginning of the art or your previous instructors. Then no previous SA, or anything to do with kids, or felony. And above all the Academy Safe certified. I was teaching at 7 years old at brown belt. My dad taught me when he was a whit belt with my black belt instructor when I was 4 years old.
Strangely, this creep doesn't seem to be interested in smashing tiles with his own head. He probably seriously thinks it's a demonstration of his "skills", using a kid's head like that. As it happens, back in the day I did know a guy who broke house bricks with his forehead ... and on a fairly regular basis lol
I think the minimum qualification for being a martial arts instructor should be a seasoned black belt (except BJJ; they’re already seasoned by the time they hit black belt), a comically hefty background check, and some serious CPR/first aid training. People need to feel like 1. they can trust their instructor and 2. feel like children are safe to be taught. Thanks, Rob. Love the Content.
1- certificate and black belt 2-at least a certification as a substitute teacher (60 college credits and a fingerprint/background check) 3-cpr/aed/first aid certification
Minimal standard Background checks Black belt or equivalent in your art Up to date first aid Safeguarding qualification And all of the above from a national governing body (except the black belt because we don't have one of those) And in my opinion......other martial arts instructors being able to visit your school and critique your classes....(Instructors from different styles and schools)
Not to take away that the guy is a massive knob and most likley will get someone seriously injured or worse. There is also a cultural aspect to this, many parents will not or dare not to critise any "expert" in anything and often let this happen because he is a "master". The parents also need to be critical if i saw that happen to any kid i would not let my kid join and at the very least contact the police. (which often do nothing becuase of the cultural aspect of so called masters) Thank you for sharing your work!
I think that there should be background check, mandatory reporter training, an instructor course where instructors are taught how to safely teach. I’m a bjj black belt and coach and have seen some of our own community do such a dangerous job teaching takedowns and throws.
Also i really do not like how he postitions those kids for demonstrations, if they know their techniques he should not have to shove and drag them like they are cattle, imaginge how he treats them during class.
Minimum standards for a martial arts teacher (running a school, not an assistant instructor under a teacher) should be: - demonstrated competence in the full curriculum at their teacher's school, meaning they have completed the grading system and reached the highest level attainable by a student (this caveat is because some styles have higher levels that can only be attained by being an instructor) - supervised experience with instructing under their teacher, such that their teacher has deemed them capable of instructing - First aid certification - in Australia, we have a national certificate in Training and Assessment, which I think should be mandatory for all teachers or trainers regardless of style or subject. - And last, they need to have passed a national background check to ensure they are suitable for working with children and vulnerable people, if they intend to have students under 18. In Australia this is mandatory, we have the national Working With Children Check that all business owners, employees, and volunteers who have contact with children need to hold, and renew every 5 years or so. - in USA, their school should be registered with Academy Safe.
The first video, I thought was actually fine. It's stage magic, fake breakable tiles, head goes through the fire real quick, fire tricks like this are fairly standard. It's still Mcdojo shit of course since it has nothing to do with martial arts, but it's a trick, no one is actually in any danger, like the sawing a person in half trick. That's my take on the first one The second though, holy crap this guy clearly has no sense of . . . . just . . . .WTF? Jeebus! That guy is clearly doin it wrong.
42 is that pounds or kilograms? When I broke my hand. I had my good one tested along with the bad. And I got my strength up to 71 lbs. But if that's kilos. You got me beat!

1:18 "...seems to work at the Nepal Olympic Commitee".
He's their janitor.
you never know when a angry camp fire will attack your face.
I'M 10 s INTO THE VIDEO AND I LITERALLY SCREAMED. WTF!???!
Dude...what the heck?? Insane?
I seriously believe in background check, no children touchers, no women beaters, assault man to man(should be reviewed first), in martial arts, should be able to pass a test of some sort in that art, of training.
That guy is just plain nuts!
Not plain, just unsalted nuts.

Sounds like something a time traveler would say to cover for another time traveler...🤨🤣
I always find it odd these guys never wear uniforms while all their students do. Kind of a red flag.
This guy should be in Jail , so stupid and the worse is that no one stop him

I'm pretty sure this breaks the Geneva Convention in some way. EDIT: and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Qualifications for an instructor.... Dont be a peice of crap!!!!

“Fuckin up his lasik.” I cackled 😆
The parents are just as guilty for allowing their children to do this...I see no benefit of what this guy is doing

10 plus years of legit training, back ground check and and interview from a legitimate governing board of martial art experts.

Back ground check, Black belt with verifiable lineage. Oss....
Each school should have a certification process and mentorship program. Mine did. Background checks are good.
Here from Shadiversity, loving the videos.

Thanks, Rob. Love the Content.
Pure child abuse! Maybe Jake Paul can fight this instructor next!
MCdojo are actually safe they don't even spar nobody gets hurt this is Brutality he's a Psycho.
Might want to check out the rest of our content. McDojos are far from safe based on our rules.
Un-fucking- believable
1- certificate and black belt
2-at least a certification as a substitute teacher (60 college credits and a fingerprint/background check)
3-cpr/aed/first aid certification
That’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen!
Minimal standard
Background checks
Black belt or equivalent in your art
Up to date first aid
Safeguarding qualification
And all of the above from a national governing body (except the black belt because we don't have one of those)
And in my opinion......other martial arts instructors being able to visit your school and critique your classes....(Instructors from different styles and schools)
Not to take away that the guy is a massive knob and most likley will get someone seriously injured or worse.

Thank you for sharing your work!
Shadiversity sent me! Cool channel bro!
WTF?!🤬 that’s abuse! He belongs in PRISON!
"SafeSport" has to be part of any martial art instruction
I think that there should be background check, mandatory reporter training, an instructor course where instructors are taught how to safely teach. I’m a bjj black belt and coach and have seen some of our own community do such a dangerous job teaching takedowns and throws.
Also i really do not like how he postitions those kids for demonstrations, if they know their techniques he should not have to shove and drag them like they are cattle, imaginge how he treats them during class.
Degree definitely not a lot of martial artist learn to instruct in military or police. But definitely prove able experience of a minimum of 8 years
What if you're caught on top of a burning roof and all you have to escape with is a child?
Minimum standards for a martial arts teacher (running a school, not an assistant instructor under a teacher) should be:
- demonstrated competence in the full curriculum at their teacher's school, meaning they have completed the grading system and reached the highest level attainable by a student (this caveat is because some styles have higher levels that can only be attained by being an instructor)
- supervised experience with instructing under their teacher, such that their teacher has deemed them capable of instructing
- First aid certification
- in Australia, we have a national certificate in Training and Assessment, which I think should be mandatory for all teachers or trainers regardless of style or subject.
- And last, they need to have passed a national background check to ensure they are suitable for working with children and vulnerable people, if they intend to have students under 18. In Australia this is mandatory, we have the national Working With Children Check that all business owners, employees, and volunteers who have contact with children need to hold, and renew every 5 years or so.
- in USA, their school should be registered with Academy Safe.
The minimum to be a martial arts instructor should be a legitimate ranking that is signed off by legitimate black belt of that martial art
Oss
Damn, the name Sensei Douche canoe is taken. Hopefully Sensei Douche Kayak is still availavle!!
Flaming tiles not hit back.
Upload moar mcdojo sir!
Nepal uses its own calendar they are permanently in the future

It's still Mcdojo shit of course since it has nothing to do with martial arts, but it's a trick, no one is actually in any danger, like the sawing a person in half trick.

42 is that pounds or kilograms? When I broke my hand. I had my good one tested along with the bad. And I got my strength up to 71 lbs. But if that's kilos. You got me beat!
Not another 1!
Is that Canue with a "K"?
The bare minimum should be a background check. Those videos were really hard to watch.
Either way it's not safe
Ohhhh this must be Phillipines!🎉😂
Ehhhh Nepal, I miss3d 😂
2079 could be a Hindu calendar thing.
It's the Bikram Sambat calendar. Thailand also uses a different calendar, the Buddhist Era calendar, where it's currently 2567.
Wow! Not cool!
😮😮😮
What the?
This guy shouldn't be demonstrating anything let alone martial arts!
