Anyone notice new fake martial artist in the martial art secton

Question

prime example-pBujinkan Ninja

Answer 1

Bunmin, did you read the "Myth Busting" article on Pat McCarthy's site? That was a good article.

It's a shame that Asians are guilty of this as alot of these legacies are Asian! Look at Sin Kwang The - Shaolin Do - a total phony.

There is speculation about Jimmy Woo of San Soo Kung Fu making up the origins of his art.

The people here who the asker is calling "fake" are just kids. They make up stories, as kids are known to do.

Now, there are some on here with 5, 10, 15 years of what I call "learning the movements of their art". They don't have a true understanding of the art, but only know that they 'step out here and down block and then turn around and punch'... or whatever it is they do.

You can't call these people fake because they never learned the "truths" about their art. You see their "experiences" listed and then you look at their answers and you wanna pull your hair out.

Hey asker... what is your experience - and I agree with you on the "bujinkan" kid.

Answer 2

A user named Judomofo has presented to quizes in the past couple of days, one on mainly grappling and the other on general striking and self defense, and the response has been underwhelming.

In fact most of the same people have answered both questions. the funny thing is that in the grappling one many who answered are not BJJ/Judo?Sambo people. they study more traditional arts, yet they can answer questions about grappling.

It just goes to show that all of these people who train 5 or 6 styles, or train to be a deadly ninja with killing moves, or the people that say Sholin kung fu beats karate, or tell you what karate contains, and get it all wrong don't need to be answering. In any given what is the best style question or what should I take you will get 20 answers. None of these people ever answer the "what does this technique do or how do I do thsi unless the answer can be found doing a search.

I don't know how many people I have seen on here claiming to do Ninjitsu, Sholin Kung Fu, BJJ, Muay Thai, or 5 or 6 styles, yet none of them answered Judomofo's quizes, at all. I know some people work or maybe miss a question, However I know of two, that I wont name, but one claims to do at least 5 styles, on of them Ninjitsu, and the other that claims to know so much about Kung Fu, and consistantly gets facts about karate wrong, that have been on since the last quiz was posted, and neither has answered. BTW these are not question that are easy to find just doing a search. So what do you make of that.

Answer 3

I've seen couple of those kinds of people in this section.

I especially don't like people that likes to put what they did and how long they did certain martial arts in their "source" section. Because in my opinion, it means nothing. There's a guy that only did martial arts for two years and became a world champion in major tournaments. I myself knocked out a guy that did martial arts for 10 years during sparring, and he was the weakest one in the gym.

But I'm kind of curious about those fake people you mentioned. They obviously feel no shame about it but I kind of wonder why they're doing it when it obviously doesn't benefit them in any way in the real world. I know that they're doing this to make themselves feel good/special, but I just can't understand why those people could feel good doing that. Well, I guess you gotta be them to know what it's truly like but I'm sure not going to waste my time doing that, and it's just too embarrassing although I know that nobody knows who I am.

Answer 4

Someone can appear fake because their instructor was fake or doesn't understand or know the true history of their art except some c**p their instructor made up from movies or will make a good sales pitch.

Some asian insructors are as guilty in this as anyone else making up false historical "facts" to prove their art is superior .

Answer 5

ya that point of the site is that anyone can answer and you have to do things like vote or check history to see whos is the best....but if there really bad then ya that lame...or funny

Answer 6

there are plenty, but there is no reason to put them on the front page. how do we know YOU aren't fake?

maybe they have studied all those arts...he doesn't claim to have black belts in them all.

if i was to list all the styles i learned things from it'd be a very long list indeed!!!

Answer 7

I hate when people say they do mma and they dont... kids in my high school no names cough tucker say they do but also say they are a GREEN belt in jiu jitsu... hmm makes alot of sense

Answer 8

i agree
