If your dojo doesn’t teach the five point palm exploding heart technique then it aint shit.

… and if it does teach it, then your dojo is shit? Thanks for the tip.

One of the first questions they ask is, How long til I become a Blackbelt?. You watch the dropout ratio once people earn the Blackbelts and its probably upper 70 percent. They get it, and then stop going. All a status symbol to them.

Maybe they’ve reached a goal and can move on, satisfied with their success.
