You're talking about Xu Xiaodong? I heard the Chinese government heemed his social credit because one of the Kung Fu "masters" has a lot of connections to the CCP and was like a promoter alongside the culture ministry or whatever.

But either way, I don't feel like dojo storming accomplishes anything substantial except stroke your ego as a fighter. Unless the guy you're bullying (going after someone you're 100% sure you can mess up is bullying, yes) is a total grifter that's encouraging people to do shit that's gonna get them killed I think it's pointless.

OK, the instructor gets beaten up. So what? His students aren't going to abandon what they're learning just because the instructor was defeated, it's usually a family environment and everyone likes each other on a personal level, they're friends before students.

Besides, even if they're not that "loyal" these places are usually focused on defending yourself from a random attack well enough to escape. Being stronger than a professional ring fight in a ring fight isn't what they're there for, so it's a moot point that their instructor wasn't good enough for that.

In answer to your question, OP, I agree with the other guy. Dojo storming doesn't accomplish much, it just makes the stormer out to be a big jerk. Maybe a handful of students would drift away, but mostly they'd probably band together to support their community.

I'm only speculating, but I think the whole "dojo storming" concept is born of modern mythology. I theorize that it originates in 19th/early 20th century provincial China, when martial arts schools were really more like gangs defending their territory. So rival schools would contest for dominance, and maybe there was some forging of alliances, i.e., "I beat you, you have to join/support us". I'm thinking about the lai tai fights, etc.

Of course later in the 20th century, Hong Kong cinema mythologized all this, and these films had a huge influence on American martial arts culture (for better or for worse). It romanticized the idea of the honor duel and the idea that martial theories could be debated like philosophy, tied up with orientalism and fascination with exotic cultures at a time when a lot of Americans were losing interest in their own culture. Thus you get retards like Count Dante larping as a Chinese warlord.

I say all that to say, beating up someone's friend in front of them is not usually good way to win their approval.

Dojo Storming is basically bullying for no good reason, instead, why not challenge them head on so you give them time to prepare to see what they are on about and record to see if you can beat them or not.

That's the proper way, back in the day it was a bit more acceptable since there was no internet and not many ways to share what the different schools were doing.

yeah because there's smarter ways to go about challenging dojos these days compared to the past, in the past you had dojo storms that 100% happened as a way to promote one's own school or fighting style.

Maybe stop being a gatekeeping incel faggot and realize 2 things queerbait.
>1: Not everyone wants to compete.
>2: Martial arts exists on a spectrum.
This board has taught me 1 thing for sure. MMA faggots are the most obnoxious fucking faggots in martial arts. No one else insists upon themselves as much as these faggots. There is an entire media industry built by and for these kinds of retards. But atleast most pros are honest & admit they're not martial artists. They're just fighters & there is a difference.

It's not a thing now and even historically, there is extremely little proof of the practice outside sporting exhibitions.
