I’m banned from a local martial arts dojo. The soke always told the same stories about his teachers and also has a rule that he won’t teach anyone with a criminal record.

I did some digging on one of his teachers and found that he killed someone in cold blood and took a plea that threw his teacher under the bus. His teacher was convicted of murder and the soke’s teacher was convicted of manslaughter for his role.

I called him out for being a hypocrite because he won’t teach criminals, but has no problem being a student of a criminal.

He sent me an email telling me that I was no longer welcome in his class.
