Time to discuss the cults that pass themselves off as Martial Arts Schools.
For the past few months, a few of the seniors and Attorney Al Kunian have been communicating with a woman who has been through quite a traumatic experience, involving a martial art's school.
Her story is not unusual. I've heard from at least ten other individuals who have had similar experiences.
The experience cost this particular person over $10,000. As a secondary insult, the great "Master" sexually assaulted her and attempted (and almost succeeded) in destroying her confidence, her marrage and her life.
There are martial art schools on every street corner. Many of the "Masters" were roofing and siding salesmen last year! Many of them are criminals. Many of them are wanted in other states.
But in their school, they are "Masters"!
Do you know who your "Master" is? Do you know his background? The source of his "Master" certificate?
Do you know how long he has been known by his current name?
Would you buy a used car from this "Master"?
Do you put common sense and good reason aside when you enter the "Master's" office and listen to how he/she is going to change your life, make you a fighting machine. . . and it will only cost you a thousand dollars. . . to start!
Do you push your commons sense aside as your "Master" tells you how "special" you are and how you are perfect for the "Master's" Black Belt program. . . Which will only cost you another 'thousand'. . and will allow you to visit the "Master's" home for extra-special lessons?
Do you ignore all the other warning signals, because, after all... He/she is the "Master"?
Who do you tell, once you finally figure it all out.
========================================
Time to discuss it. Please don't use names. We are only interested in learning how to avoid these "Martial art schools from Hell!"
