That is why with the fullness of time bullshido wound up making fun of every martial art. They all have things that are or seem silly, and everything that is truly a scam is (usually) perpetrated by an individual, not an art as a whole. Even people to who supposedly go to "real" arts to learn to "real" fighting often fail spectacularly, for example UFC fighters who are regularly training with famous boxing or Muay Thai teachers but cannot manage to throw a straight punch in the octagon.

Who was it who said "do not say that Aikido does not work; say that your Aikido does not work... Mine works just fine for me..."

Someone close by you?
