Never been to FS. Had an offer but said no after I asked some instructors I have trained with and they all said the same “ never been impressed with the skill set of anyone who trained at FS. “ Sounds like it was cheap for a reason. Pay for better instructors , the top people travel to different clubs who host them and there are lots of competent instructors in California. You don’t get a decoder ring but you get real training. Sounds like it was better than nothing but not much else. Better to take one real good class and practice on your own rather than take 10 crap classes and get some meaningless gold membership. If you have nothing to compare it to maybe. My dream shotgun class would be with Clint Smith. He teaches in LV too. Pricey but it’s a real class by a real expert.

From the horses mouth in the links , it was a scam for 3rd rate training from day one . Accept it and move on .

Thanks for proving to us that you don't know what the **** your talking about!

Secondly the whole FS experience has been nothing but positive and good training.

If it wasn't for the FS staff and their Professional attitude, it is what got FS as far as it did.

No, I'm not happy about the current situation. But belittling of the training and the FS staff is unacceptable.

Especially from people who haven't been there.

Thanks for the screenshot @rodralig ! I personally never cared for Chachi’s style but, looks like he has fans : )

Sorry you got scammed into training at a McDojo. When you see who DIDN’T train and who DOESN’T endorse the training there it’s clear what they were about. Even in the shooting world , there are McDojos and useless katas . It’s the Aikido of shooting. McDojo life exposes all the fantasy based martial arts and it’s crazy to watch all the folks saying their martial art is real even after being shown otherwise. If your ego is wrapped up being in the super secret black belt platinum circle club , it might be devastating. We all get suckered.

You think you know what you're talking about, but you actually don't. You have bits and pieces correct but your overall conclusion is incorrect. Sorry. Unfortunately it's unlikely any amount of rational discussion debating your opinion may change your mind. Think about that, and it should provide the real answer.

FUD.

Dude’s never been, but apparently is a multiple degree black belt in the art of know it all.

Are you Steven Seagal?

As long as Piazza runs FS, "real good" programs come with "real good" catches.

If you think that Piazza will change his methods of running FS, the bull shat will continue unabated. If you're thinking that improvements are right around the corner, it's time to put down the crack pipe and face reality.
