This hit hard. You articulated what I’ve only ever felt as an unease in certain gyms—especially when the conversation around “real-world scenarios” starts to sound more like fantasized vigilantism than grounded self-defense.
The Jordan Neely case wasn’t just a tragedy, it was a public display of how martial training, when rooted in dominance rather than dignity, becomes lethal. And worse, celebrated.
Thank you for naming what so many won’t: that a lot of these communities don’t just tolerate power worship—they actively sort for it. The rot isn’t peripheral. It’s cultural.
Following your work closely now. We need a better lineage.
