The Moo system is designed to fool you into thinking you are learning something. Unfortunetly, the Moo STRONGLY discourages any sort of skill testing, so you really don't know what your learning is crap. It wasn't until I actually fought a guy away from the schools that my ''Fantasies & Delusions'' were shattered.
If the Moo had some sort of sparring, or competitive program where they entered students into tournments where we had been in competiton against other schools, like the Kuo Shou, I would have known how bad they were in the first 3 months. But they didn't do that, and STRONGLY discouraged it in every way shape or form.
If they were a normal school, and put thier students up against those of other schools all along, in full contact tournaments, there wouldn't be this issue.
But competiton would expose them, now wouldn't it.
