I can help you out by teaching at your dojo. I am a soke 16th dan who learned Shaolin Aikido from Grandmaster Wynn. Let's start by advertising a 6 month program with a free uniform. People can pay to be part of our association and then they can practice at any Shaolin Ninja Tiger School in the world (and there are three by the way). We'll put lots of trophies in the windows, and hold competitions to attract customers, er...i mean students. People will be so interested to learn our style because unlike other Aikido schools, the Shaolin Ninja Tiger School also teaches boxing, greek roman wrestling, black AND white ninja tactics, and basket weaving. ( I do also hold a black belt in all those arts in addition to seven others by the way). Be sure to put an ad in the phone book and newspapers with a family all dressed in gi's smiling and doing ninja poses. Please consider me for the postition. I forgot to mention that I was a member of Seal Team Six, a former Green Beret, Army Ranger and Captain of the SWAT team.

Sincerely,
Johnny Matsu
Quiet as a ninja and smooth as sushi.

Wow! Basically every martial art school (not just limited to the TKD places mind you! lol!) have such ads in the phone book here in Buffalo! LOL! And I HATE how Black Belt Magazine and other publications have the odacity to put such ads where the instructor was in virtually every special forces team in the military and law enforcement! LOL!

Re: Creating a McDojo

I was the best INTERPOL agent around!!! I was also a SEAL, Green Beret, USMC Force Recon member, U.S. Army Ranger, commissioner of the police dept. in which Mr. Matsushima was the captain of the SWAT team, and Erie Co. New York Sheriff. I also forgot to mention my CIA, FBI, ATF, DEA, and Swiss Army experience! Am I hired? lol!

Online aikido classes or how about an aikido home kit? Can be done from the comfort of your own home. Guaranteed black belt or your money back. We will even throw in an ukemi-cruncher to work those abs. Wait there's more! A set of bokken steak knives!!! And for those who order in the next five minutes you will get a complementary hakama apron and a CD of Steven Seagal's greatest hits!!!!
Ha Ha Ha....LOL You crack me up! How about this?

THE 20 Minute AIKIAB system....

As used by Bruce Lee, this system is the secret to martial arts mastery!!!

"I was so impressed by this, that I decided to base my own TOTAL GYM on it, and now I can run faster, and kick even higher, not to mention that it helped me to lose all my body hair!"
- Chuck Norris

The 20 minute AIKIAB system is one which uses the principle of harmony and no power to strengthen your abs and lose pounds of unwanted body fat.

All you have to do is keep your center for twenty minutes a day by joining with the natural force of the universe. Use the power of your breath to shed cellulite!

"I once was incredibly fat, and now I still am, but thanks to the AIKIAB system, now my fatness is in harmony with the universe"
- John M.

The 20 minute AIKIAB system used a patented set of workout exercises developed by Soke 16th dan Johnny Matsu. We guarantee you will be in perfect harmony with the universe within thirty days, or your money back!!

AIKIAB routine

5 min - meditation
5 min - tenkan
5 min - break
5 min - meditation

(hey, wait a minuite - I think that is how my practice goes !!!)

Re: Creating a McDojo

I offer to bring your aiki order to your home. And if you don't get your order delivered in 20 minutes, you will get 1 portion Kİ for free.

PS: for the ones who don't know what Ki is;

1 Ki = 1.251 midiclorion (Jedi force, Star Wars)

Re: Creating a McDojo

Wait.. one more thing for the uniform... After the black belts, one can earn "supersoker lightbelts" with a bunch of colored flashing LEDs woven in.

Re: Creating a McDojo

Hey, Mr. James Davis, Jr. I really do have all those credentials! I somehow was involved in all those organizations all at the exact same time! I am now long since retired and receiving government pensions from said agencies. I'm 18, mind you.

Re: Creating a McDojo

Hey! What about the essential McDojo (tm) move?

Using dodgy sword technique, cut through an overly trusting student balanced on a piece of fruit?

(Or is that cut through a piece of fruit balanced on an overly trusting student?.....Damn! I always get that confused. )

Cheers,

Matt.
