The best way to tell is to actually go visit the school. From the video, it didn't look too encouraging. If you decide to go to the place, you should meet the instructors and ask questions. Then you'll definitely know whether or not it's a McDojo.

It does not really fit the description of mcdojo but if the students look terrible, it's probably just the teacher that lacks teaching skills.
There just doesn't seem to be any energy in the class. It's like they are just going through the motions.
Run for the hills. Or better yet, just find another school with better energy.
That video was pathetic.

I hope you would not judge the school entirely by the website. I hope you would not judge ours that way. http://www.ncmartialarts.com
You know your in a fast food martial arts school when you see the following:
Tones of trophies on the wall.
All the beginning students drills look real sharp. Probably watered down technique too help students look cool.
Master instructor is almost never on the floor giving one on one.
No one greets strangers at the door and invites them to observe and ask questions.
Long term contracts payed in advance.
If these conditions exist you are probably in a McDojo. Get the Rolaids.

I do not know if it is a mcdojo, but I would believe you should be able to find/compare with other schools. Check www.ffkama.fr or I believe if you are in France, get Karate Bushido magazine there is a ton of schools listed.
