There are a lot of people teaching "Martial Arts" who shouldn't be. Many of them are just thugs & they teach their students to be thugs. I wish there were some way to prevent these people from teaching or at least from calling what they teach a Martial Art. It makes legitimate Martial Artists look bad.

I too have noticed many individuals who seem to be focused on learning to fight, without realizing that MA is more than just hand to hand combat.
It seems that there has been and always will be a certain element of students who will take a quick and easy path of training, in order to placate their own ego as to being the biggest, toughest street thug.
I often feel sorry for the individuals who cannot learn that "violence is the last refuge of the incompetant" (Aasimov). The true lesson of martial arts is wisdom, and with that, the ethical understanding of mutual prosperity. This is why, as instructors, it is our responsibility to instill this in our students.
I cannot speak for the practices of other instructors, and certainly do not wish to badmouth anyone else's teaching practices. I can only speak to the necessity to properly influence students that I teach, and can hopefully guide people on a better path. I would hope that other teachers follow the same practice.

Because they have to honor or respect for the blood and sweat that goes into the development of a true martial artist. Individuals like that take martial arts as a fighting method, not a way of life.

One of the problems I find is that martial arts sometimes attracts undesirables as it is violent in nature. Usually these people do not stick around. They lack dedication, they seem to float from school to school. I think these are the people who usually shoot their mouth off.
I have met some real "characters" in the arts, but they are far outweighed by the decent people I have also met.

Karate and Tae Kwon Do are both Martial Arts. Karate is Okinawin(eastern) and TKD is Korean. Your instructor probably takes it as an insult even as TKD is refered to as karate. classic Tae Kwon Do is somewhat very comparable to karate, only more advantageous kick oriented.

It could be that they don't like the fighting style there is a lot of people out there don't like some of the style or they have time learning.
