Flaming - Welcome to the Internet

I have not ranted in a while, but today I have to. Yesterday I was checking out a site on the net called Bullshido. The reason I went to check it out was I saw a video on Youtube with their logo and information on it. The video was a shot at the art of Kyusho Jitsu. The one below is very interesting, called Karate Sucks. I wonder if they got permission to use the music?



After viewing this I went and checked out their website. It reminded me of the BBS days of old when teenagers would get on and FLAME each other. This site pretends to be a watchdog site for martial arts. I was intrigued so I created an account to look further. The site allegedly investigates martial arts and school to tell of their legitimacy. Interesting, I wonder what THEIR credentials are for doing so? As I read further there was a direct attack on a friend and colleague, Grand Master (Doctor) Steve Stewart of London On. They were trying to discredit not only his martial arts background, but his medical education as well. Doctor Steve IS a doctor of acupuncture and runs a clinic in London. Follow the links provided for more information.

Now not only did they try to slander his good name, but they also stole and posted intellectual property (video) and pictures. (isn't integrity a tenet in martial arts?)

Now this site is founded and hosted by a man named Neal Fletcher. Mr Fetcher spends a great deal of time knocking every martial art he sees . He calls anyone running a commercial school a McDojo, while he solicits and accepts advertising on his site. He says that Tae Kwon Do sucks, Ninjitsu sucks, karate sucks, etc, etc, etc. He even has a forum called your martial arts suck!

There are also post after post about inferior martial artists and masters , that this instructor is a fake and that instructor is a loser etc, etc.....

Well here is Mr Fletcher having his ass handed to him in his only MMA fight.



Mr Fletcher, take down your site and do something positive for the martial arts world. Your missing the target with this one... How do you spell WANNABE?
