It makes me uncomfortable to "put down" another school, as I am a student of only two martial arts, and recognize that no selection so small imparts upon me the ability to critize those that I do not train in.
However, I'm equally uncomfortable when I think of someone unwittingly joining an organization that crosses so many boundaries in a field that I consider sacred. Even so, do your own research -- just do so mindfully.
