This year for the A to Z Challenge I have decided to
get a little personal with my loyal readers. During this years A to Z I am
going to explore 26 of my many pet peeves. I hate almost everything so filling
the alphabet will be a breeze. Today the letter is K so lets do Karate.
I don't really have a problem with Karate itself. Karate is a beautiful ancient martial art form as Mr Miyagi so patiently taught us and Daniel Son in that movie about Karate Kid's. No, Karate itself isn't to blame, my beef with Karate is actually with the douchebag adults who take it along with the kids and then act like lethal bad asses like Chuck Norris or something all because they have a yellow belt and beat a 12yr old in sparring.
It's like, OK Cobra Kai back it off a little bit, you're not captain badass just because you take Tae Kwon Do at the Y. You are not Bruce Lee and Sensei Steve isn't really a 'Grand Master'. Well he is, but so is Sensei's Bob and Susan too. It's not that hard to earn a certificate to teach Karate. Actually, a lot of people don't know this but you can actually bullshit your way into being a Karate instructor at some places just looking to add a class to build up customers.
