A McDojo is a martial arts school that conforms to the following attributes:
-Your instructor has a Grandmasters Certificate. In Crayon.
-The Senior Assistant Instructor is a 4 year old black belt.
-The sign in the window says the school trains in more than 10 martial arts.
-Its a Korean art. (See taekwondo)
-Your instructor tries to sell you Amway products.
-While examining the schools tournament trophies, you find 3 for spelling bees.
-Reading the contract for the school is considered a kata (and a long one at that).
-No one sweats.
-While at a tournament, your opponent finds out who your teacher is and high-fives his teacher.
-When paying for your belt examinations, the instructor asks: "Do you want fries with that?"
If any of these sound familiar, you are probably training at a McDojo.
