I get why people would use hacks and cheats in a game, but I never do and always work for my skills. Yes I want a stronger item, power up, weapon, etc, but it’s because I earned it. Same with life. I don’t mind having a boost, but I rather earn what I have and it always feels good.
@TheLuconic I can answer that. To put it simply... it's to feel superior over people online because their own life feels out of control. Plus, it also must be a self-esteem issue. But yeah, it's the closest high they get to feeling on top of the world. Even if it's at the expense of everyone else's fun. They will use it because they feel it's the only thing they have to prove. Just to have the moment of power that hacking gives you. That's my experience anyway. Sometimes hackers do it to gain attention. Like getting someone to like you especially when you use it to help someone else. Or spiting someone's experience over pettiness. It's like pay to win.
@@yeng1855i have an anecdote which confirm your analysis, in overwatch 2 i peaked top 14 in americas, and there is this guy who always mock me when i started bc i was bad (he was in my friend group).

That is funny and I've seen it but I have also seen the opposite. A Korean guy joined my taekwondo class once and just joined as a beginner. Didn't take long to figure put he wasn't a beginner. He was actually a native Korean who held a black belt from the home land. He was badass!
@@michaelholt8590 Really???, or he didn't have the official credentials to prove that he was a black-belt, so he had no choice but to start again as a white-belt. It happened in my dojo.
@@michaelholt8590 yes, that's exactly what happened in my Dojo. He has to wear the white belt for a few months until the next exam happened, and he went from white to blue belt (his proper belt) directly.
Nat has to be one of the best at these skits, because he still has the funny expression on his face rather than these other martial artists who always have that serious expression. It shows just how much he has mastered this art❤
For tbose wondering this is acrually Nats true story. He came into his current dojo a 3rd degree at 16 or something and like me had never had to do any strengthening excersizes. John quickly turned him into the man he is today some 7 years later. Now he calls himself a 1st degree but he is clearly higher and humbled. Good job Nat. Hard work to get that good some of it has to do with age but he is leaps and bounds better. You find out quickly how good you really are in front of a man like sensei Gardiner. Now the boy is a man with some of the cleanest kicks ive seen. Good job Nat. Not a mcdojo !!!
I stayed a 1st degree Brown belt for 3 years ( never took black ) I found some Brown belts tougher in kumite than the black.belts at our dojo. I think its something to do with once some people pass black they ease off .But if Brown they still think they have to try harder .?????
I had one in my Dojang many years ago, his philosophy was "I pay so I have a right to have a belt". He went to train with us post-beginners after not being able to cope with the black belt class.
It might not be either if there's a background in other physical activities with shared traits. Dancers tend to have excellent 'natural' ability that they worked toward, or even a different martial art with a degree of shared history. e.g. judo and aikido.
No kidding one guy in my batch lost his brown belt three times and he wasn't given a new one by the third cuz the coach was thinking what kinda irresponsibility is this.
This is so accurate and it drives me insane!!!!! I have worked for 8 years to get my black belt then a thirteen year old comes in and has been training for a year but thinks he’s the shit It’s so annoyinggggggg!!!!
Hey Nat, my name is Owen Webber, I am 14 years old and from England. When I was 8 years old, I was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).

So thank you (Please May I get a shoutout in your next Short if possible, I would mean so much, but you don’t have to)
@@Regent192 Compare it to examples of McDojos here on youtube. Also checking the curriculum too. If you go straight into Kata without any Basics, it's probably a McDojo. If you're offered belt ranks for expensive "special training", McDojo.
I had been going 3 classes and they started testing me for yellow belt. It was mostly katas. And each belt cost extra so I immediately could see that it was in their best interest to belt me up as fast as possible regardless of skill.
This actually makes me sad. Someone Probably wasted alot years in a mcdojo just to realise that they Were taught nothing. The dissapointment when he sits down and realises makes me sad. 😢
I had a mcdojo transfer at my karate club. He was a purple belt, but god he was shit. No power, no speed, no stamina, no intensity. I felt a bizarre mixture of anger and sadness everytime i saw him.
"How to tell someone you bought your belt with cash instead of time and experience." Many dojos don't even give Shodan rank to anyone under either 16 or 18, depending on the school.
Ive never made a transfer/new student start over but I have had a few that decided to start over after they couldnt keep up with our black belt class. Also had a few that came in and were AMAZING!
The coach I have right now is such an amazing coach, because when she first took the club I was in, we were a literal mcdojo, but since then, she made us learn how to kick well and I wouldn’t have passed my black belt without her
Some guys get to a certain belt and cannot be bothered to grade.i started in 72 .graded under Keinosuke Enoeda up to 1st degree Brown .And packed up in 1980 .Still same grade.I sparred with some green belts back in the 70s who I reckon must have been green belts for years .Certainly no good going by belts to some guys skill set. Despite all the pain I still miss it .All my 3 senseis are dead and gone .Enoeda,Pauline Bindra ( née Fuller ) Ray Fuller . R.I.P
Funnily enough, the "black belt" kicks with perfect form but just falls over, and then breakfalls properly too. It's hard to pretend to suck when you're actually good, haha.
I feel bad for the kid actually. His parents should’ve done more research but really it’s to get rid of the kid while they did shopping or just wanted to be alone…. That’s the real crime here. If anything, that sensei is his new father figure.
Bro i have just started watching your videos. Always wanted to learn some sort of martial art. This comment is to let you know your videos are a huge help and I'm currently learning some techniques from them. Thanks for the wonderful easy to understand breakdowns.
BJJ has the best belt system where it’s not all about skill but also about how many years you’ve been doing it. There are belts you can’t get until you’ve been training for 20+ years.
As a professional mcdojo teacher, this is not what our black belts are like! Clearly this student did NOT take our 10,000,000$ per class option while signing in.
I used to go to a McDojo. I only noticed it until much later. after a few years of training I could barely kick or punch. Along with the other students. They would literally play games during class and say we earned it for working hard. It pisses me off so much. There were black belts in my class who can't even get a kick to above the torso. I remember when I would spar with the other students, they only knew how to just swing their hands around. And they would think they were tough because when we would do kata, they wouldn't even make the punches or kicks look good, all they would do is yell. Perfect example of a McDojo.
Back in middleschool all my friends and i were basically immediately black belts after a few years of taekwondo although a good few of them were pretty successful at the regional competitions for their ages and weight classes
I went to a semi mcdojo. As long as you showed up and trained you would get to brown even if you really didn’t deserve it. And then had to stay at brown for several years until you were actually good enough to get a black.
I have actually seen this happen. There was a karate teacher in the country town of Margaret River in Western Australia who forged certificates from a real Japanese karate school. One day his students came up to the State capital by to visit our school and we couldn’t believe how their skills did not match their belt gradings. It was very strange. Ten years later, the local Margaret .River newspaper broke the news: the students had contacted Japan head school who had no idea who the fake teacher was. The students were devastated. The fake teacher was persona non grata in town. A nearby real branch of the Japanese school adopted the students. And we finally understood what had happened ten years before with their visit to us.
When he said "The bag ... never hit one of those before" , I was suspicious that we was wearing a fake black belt. This guy is pretty much a fake black belt.
I started again at a new school from white belt. It was worth it. I also watched 3 black belts come for one lesson, behave pretty much exactly like this video, and never come back.

Great skit! I do feel for the transfer student, because the kids that come out of mcdojos don't understand they're being cheated.
The best way to tell someones karate experience is by looking at his stretching skills
True, and the way he ties his belt
Wrong if you talk about pure flexibility
Asking them to bow/demonstrate the stances is good too.
Yup
No.....
The way to tell is Two Fold
1. How you tie your belt
2. The fact you train Karate shows lack of skills and effectiveness
It's usually the other way round. The fake white belt who wants to wow the entire class with his natural ability.
It might not be either if there's a background in other physical activities with shared traits. Dancers tend to have excellent 'natural' ability that they worked toward, or even a different martial art with a degree of shared history. e.g. judo and aikido.
