I wonder how many martial arts teachers there are who’s last name is Bates

I avoid most dojos run by asians because they think they are “jedi.” Terms such as master or grandmaster are cringe. No need to use those terms.

I hate it. Professor is the worst. I’m a bjj instructor and I prefer either just my first name or if you have to, coach

I prefer Sensei.
I prefer senpai
BJJ and boxing are different. I don’t think I called anyone who trained me anything other than their name. Imagine calling someone Master
It’s ridiculous. I was at no gi worlds this week and whenever I heard “professor” yelled out I winced. That one kills me for some reason. I’ve never heard someone in real life want to be called master

If you go to a gym and they call any of the following:
-a coach a master /sinsei
-call practice, “class”
-
call a gym a dojo
-
wrestle in pajamas with belts
Leave and find another gym.

Yeah that’s very cringe. I couldn’t do it. I probably couldn’t even roll there with that cringey atmosphere either. I’m surprised it was No Gi. Seems like something the pajama wrestlers would say

No hate. The gi/ martial art larping shit " id just Teh Ghey. "
And the sociopaths that run those Mcdojos try to run them like a cult and all of the pajama wrestling trained monkeys worship them for the dream of shiny colored belts.

For the record. I think GI BJJ is a very technical sport and I respect those who compete in it.
For the cult sociopath senseis and their cult dojos…I mock that side of the sport.
