Mad Matt Stampe- the author, here full time office worker, part time martial artist, and currently training for Masters in Chinese Medicine. Amateur fighter, doesn't consider himself at a high level, just average. "Just a guy will balls to get in there and go after guys. Test my Tai Chi against guys trying to knock my head off."
What are some of the Characteristics of teachers of compliant garbage in the martial arts community:

1. No fight experience. Some haven't even done push hands competition, which are much safer physically.

2. They have compliant student to make them look good and get slapped around. Many times the student is respectful and could probably seriously harm the teacher. This is eventually considered real skill and goes unquestioned. Real fighters laugh and see it.

3. If the teacher does have students that train for push hands and/or fight, they do not last long and lose. If they do win, it is small tournaments with low turn out, not one of the more major International or National competitions.

4. Teacher usually picks up on trends on forums then take that idea as their own. Ti-feng, Jibengong, Zhong ding gong, terms I've used in forums are now being taught by tai chi marketing guys. go figure.

5. Demo heavy. Again these are only demos these guys can do.

6. Living in a bubble. These guys keep other competitors away from them, steer clear of major martial artists, and events. They will lose their "Rice Bowl" if the truth came out. Real fighters and players go out and test people.

7. They attract people with life or mental issues, folks looking for the 'magical' or amazing powers often seen in fictional movies. These fictional skills marketed include: no touch knock outs, no inch punches, invisible pushes, one touch knockouts, and other non-sense just to name a few. It is profitable for them and they laugh their way to the bank. "A sucker born every minute!"

8. Talk game is good. Talk is cheap, but it is a skill with these guys. They speak in fortune cookie language, use phrases that sound like Confucian wisdom, and try to come off a deep spiritual advisers.

9. They play the role of master fully, they go by self proclaimed titles, use the hierarchy of chinese culture in their western world. Master-student relationship as a means of control. They pass out titles and ranks to their students if they try to leave, it becomes cultish.

10. Shady lineage history. Some are rejects from various schools and make up they are from some special lineage that cannot be traced to teachers no one has heard of. Some advertise they are part of 'this or that' early generation of a kung fu family and cannot state or share the teachers name.
