As I said in an unrelated post- talk to me in twenty years when all the new “Systema” schools are all over the place and you have just as much validity as the new johnny boy who started a Systema school after combining judo with a whip and has the audacity to call it Systema.

I know. That is certainly a concern and a likely event in the future. 20 years from now people will probably question my authenticity because I "don't give belts" or "don't do forms". Its coming, and I dread it.
I guess the pertinent question here is... can we (Systema worlod) learn from the past of other arts that have faced this. Can we find soemething reasonable to do to stop the creation and proliferation of McDojo!?

really.
