I am going to start a series of ethical business practice polls over time.

One common thing that I hear about in the martial arts is about an instructor's resume or their claims.

Such as,
  • You take a couple of seminars with a famous martial artist, many will write or claim that "Trained with Mr. Famous Karate Guy".
  • Military background added that one can not find any proof of.
  • Forged or bought certificates from a certificate mills.
  • Claiming to have trained the military when all you have had where a couple of ex-military people come train at your school.
Anyways you get the idea. Some can be exaggerations of the truth. Some would call it create advertising. Yet is it ethical to do so?

Horrible thought.  Just a basic fibber, then again the truth is in the eye of the beholder.  Maybe he trained with a Navy Seal, so in his eyes he trained with special forces.  Another example is my instructor has no instructor, he had some colleagues test him for his 8th Dan.  He had to print up his own certificates.....and then have the instructors who tested him sign it.  In that case it would be acceptable, No?
