Show No. 6 / link

This has to be the most important show I have ever had. This is a must for all martial artists and especially parents.
We welcome back guests: Joy Turberville, Danny Passmore, and two special guests who wish to keep their identity, somewhat hidden.

Listen to this and bring it to the attention of your fellow students.

Thank You for putting up this show. This was one of my favs. Because that everyone got together and gave some "red flags", it's causing me to really look hard and make sure that my Dojo and instructor is "safe". Also it made me look at myself, and now I'm more careful on how I act in the Dojo. Since I've herd this show, there's been a couple "red flags" that have came up at the school, but thanks to "Rick", I found some ways to fix them.

Thanks Master Pinder, keep doing what you're doing. You have my full support!

The panel shared their experiences and offered some very good advice on how to deal with karate instructors who prey, sometimes sexually, on their students. However, Mr. Pinder opened the show accusing the traditional martial arts of being cult-like, and implied that TMA lends itself to these types of predatory behaviors. Mr. Pinder has previously admitted an agenda against TMA and should justify his statement with facts. Especially in light of the Karate Kast podcast in which he agreed that a dojo owner has the right to tell his students how to dress and behave. Now THAT sounds like a cult.
