I believe my dojo is an excellent dojo: The level of detail of the training, the knowlege of our Sensei and the camaraderie shown are all absolutely brilliant. But as I looked around to find out more about Karate in particular and by extension martial arts in general I came across the term "McDojo".
It obviously involves fast grading of as many students as possible, and in the worse cases I gather, buying of belts. Found this YouTube Video of how to spot a McDojo:
The Art of McDojo
And that dragged my thoughts back to a friends post of an excellent example of some of the points made.

I will stick to learning Karate from proper Senseis
thank you very much, and maybe at some future stage pick up other techniques from other forms and disciplines, if circumstances allow. McDojos begone!!
I might not be progressing quickly, but progressions made will be properly earned and properly appreciated 😊😊😊😊
