It was miraculous. Almost twenty thousand USD cash was assembled in just a few days. Not nearly as good as the old 'birthday' scam record of $100K/week (of which the schools saw zip) but still, considering the moos plight, not too shabby for their paper legacy.
The regalia and ritual were almost realistic. It looked very close to an actual re-creation of a non-event. The fighting spirit was everywhere - sort of.
The mooos were fighting to extract every last dollar they could from the future cult members who wanted to see authentic made-up movements, the really expensive kind, to see for themselves what their families and friends were really into.
And they were not dissapointed! The mooos came to play, their game of flash some fabric and make it seem almost real was impressive - to those who don't know any better, that don't know the difference.
And the ceremony! Ah the miraculous ceremony! It was worth the long waiting, rigid and stiff, the waiting. But the ceremony! Well, getting a speech and a handshake from someone not qualified to tie your shoes is the best you'll ever be. Be all you moo-be.
Easily impressed is easily entrapped. It was miraculous - how those who don't practice and haven't in many years can profess to judge those who try hard, albeit in the wrong direction, dedicating their efforts soley for the benefit of the cash collecting cult.
There's a difference between genuinely honoring someone, and then there's the mooo 'honorary' titles, regalia and positions. Lets not forget the positions.
Its all made up so the moo is 'honoring' you with what now exactly?
The moo honors their students by taking their money then letting them show what they've learned to a ceremonial panel pre-decided in who gets what, what ranks or what, what doing or what.
The pictures dont tell a real story. They show something 'to hit your mind' hoping you'll think its something real.
Real martial arts don't advertise, they are not in the main public eye and they're hard to find. The moo is out to make money. That's it. Their 'art' is false and you bought into it.
Congratulations, you're a moo.
