Default Re: non-profit stuff that is better than for-profit stuff

Snowball,

Your logic is fundamentally flawed. If the majority of consumers in this market wanted the same thing you want, then the classes offered by the for-profit schools would reflect that.

Most people probably say they want to learn real and efective self-defense in these classes, but obviously not, because the results of the market have shown otherwise. Most people actually want the fantasy role-playing or whatever you called it, and that's what the for-profit companies offer the most of. If people didn't want that, the demand for those classes would decrease.

The for-profit martial arts market is providing the product that consumers demand just as well if not better than any other for-profit market.

It's not yours or anyone else's responsibility to force people to take certain kinds of martial arts classes just because you think it would be better for them.

Unfortunately for you, you don't want the same product that most people want. Tough noogies.
