Martial Arts Hall of Fame??

[EarthDragon]

Can anyone give me some info on this. I received a letter that I am nominated to be inducted into the 2007 United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

Is this legite or can anyone be nominated whether or not they are a shifu, blackbelt, school owner, well known teacher, etc, etc. Any info would be appreciated.

it is an organization. anyone can get in

Stay away from it -- it's a load of crap.

All those "Halls of Fame" or "Sokeship Councils" or "Grandmasters Councils" are a scam and just an opportunity for the frauds of the martial arts world to come together and promote each other and congratulate each other on being frauds.

Thanks for the info.

I am still confused it is recognisd by inside kung fu mag and the guests are cung lee, george dillman, super foot wallace etc etc. these are well known adn well respected MA. why would they be invloved in a scam?

Wholly Crap!!! When the hell did George Dillman becom a respected MA!!:eek:

I didn't say it was a scam, but anyone can get in. from what I understand, someone nominates you - probably one of your students in your case. but you have to pay an induction fee and annual membership fees afterward - like most organizations.

Most of them basicly go through lists of schools and send you your "nomination". You have to accept by attending a banquet, where they over charge you big time for a rubber chicken dinner. Then you have to pay annual fees to stay in the "hall of fame"

They get big names like CUng Le but paying to fly them to a banquet and honoring them (they, unlike you, don't pay a dime), then they can advertise that "famous person X" is in their hall of fame

LOL, only in his own mind. Well that and maybe to his legion of overweight powder donut sniffing monkey's.

I know some questionable figures who get nominated for that EVERY year! :eek:

thanks guys i figured so however it is hosted by inside kung fu mag so I thought it was legit. although i have dedicated 26 years into learning and teaching the MA I dont feel worthy enough to be in a hall of fame...
