I've been following this thread with some interest and was wondering what, besides the perception that a 16 year old sandan is a joke, is the big difference between McDojo and Real Dojo if there are no objective tests? I will not go into techical skills and demonstrations of strength and agility, because such measures are often style/school dependent. What I'm asking is, what if fake "krotty" produced the same positive effects on character, discipline, health, self-esteem, etc. that real karate is supposed to engender?
