What does this have to do with Kendo you ask?

1. McDojo seems to do a WAY better job of marketing most of the time than legitimate dojo.

2. Take a good look at the list of the authors :D

Point #1: Yes, because there's a profit motive attached to a McDojo, whereas there's none (or very, very little-- just enough to pay for the electric/water bill) with a proper, legitimate dojo.

One question: How in the bejebus did you stumble upon that?

[Maku-san]

Well, I see Elizabeth-san in there... and she's one of the advisors in her Daddy's dojo. :)

I still fail to make the connection... or is it because it's 4:45AM on a bloody workday and I'm insomniac!!! :ko:

Oh, it's connected to kendo somewhat because a kendo person wrote it :D
