On day one, at martial arts, as a parent, you are instructing your child, to give absolute trust to a stranger, with no background check, who calls themselves 'master' and demands customers call them 'master'.
PARENTS, DID YOU ASK
for this so-called 'masters'
BACKGROUND CHECK paper work?
Think of it, you are allowing your children to bow to a stranger and call them their new master, without even knowing the first thing about them!
Absolute Trust on day one: (Why no criminal background check first?) Martial Arts Businesses try to trick customers into absolute trust relationships on day one.
You are teaching your children, that on day one, with zero verification of criminal background checks, that it is okay, to give absolute trust to a stranger, who calls themselves a title, by allowing your kids to: *BOW TO THE BUSINESS *BOW TO THE 'MASTER' *BOW TO THE 'GRAND MASTER' *BOW TO THE ALTAR *BOW THE IMAGES ON THE ALTAR *SAY PRAYERS OF PRAISE TO THE IMAGES ON THE ALTAR *BE DRESSED IN CULT UNIFORM BY THE 'MASTER' and that is all on day one.
AND YOU NEVER EVEN ASKED FOR A BACKGROUND CHECK YET!
Martial Arts Teaches Kids the WORST Lesson possible: -It teaches kids to give absolute trust from the moment they meet a stranger, who calls themselves a title.
Remember, the martial arts instructors are strangers, with NO BACKGROUND CHECKS required at all by law!
Martial Arts Instructors first lesson to your kids is for them to give absolute trust to a stranger on day one, who is not only an ADULT without a Background Check, but also NOT LICENSED with the State or any other supervising agency. Furthermore, martial arts instructors in America have a HORRIFIC HISTORY of abusing thousands of kids.
PLEASE DEMAND BACKGROUND CHECKS as the very first thing you do.
Logically, the very first thing that parents and kids should learn to DEMAND is: BACKGROUND CHECKS!!!
You don't send your kids into a business to a stranger naively! You instead judge that business. You scrutinize that business. You put that business under the microscope before ever thinking about allowing your children to enter that business.
But instead, since kung fu and karate movies are playing in many parents heads, there are some parents who send kids to Martial Arts After School Programs, where they are driven by martial arts instructors, who have: NO BACKGROUND CHECKS,
who take the kids to the business location, where other employees also have: NO BACKGROUND CHECKS ,
under the supervision of the owner of the business who also has: NO BACKGROUND CHECKS.
Listen, your job as parents, is to question everything. You walk into to a martial arts business, your first question has to be: WILL YOU PLEASE PRINT YOUR BACKGROUND CHECK FOR ME?
You ask for background checks for many reasons. 1. A Confirmed 338+ Martial Arts Instructors abused over 670+ children in the USA. (Tip of the Iceberg). 2. To Teach kids to ask for background checks as the very first priority. 3. Because You may find, that the owner doesn't want to give you their background check paper work.
If the owner refuses to give you his background check paper work in a reasonable time period, then you should call the police and inquire with your state officials about that business.
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF UNREGULATED MARTIAL ARTS BUSINESSES TARGETING OUR CHILDREN!
