McDojo

Where it comes from

From Mc- + dojo. The "Mc" prefix, borrowed from fast-food chain McDonald's, symbolizes and patterns the process of mass-producing low-quality goods quickly.

noun McDojos

derogatory A dojo that focuses on spectacular techniques and awarding black belts rather than teaching authentic martial arts. This book made me long for the old ways of martial arts instruction before McDojos and health clubs dominated the land.
