Some “Military Manias” or “Army Idi-ots” are often says: “Military training is very good to build our childrens!!”.

As martial art teacher who also teaches kindergarten kids myself: “I don’t like you!!”.

Why martial art training is not same with military training (and why i don’t like military guys)? The reasons are on their training goal and method.

Martial art training is a lifelong peaceful lifestyle and disciplines for all people, from kids to senior ages. It train our spiritual growth, physical health, respect, and self defense skill to protect ourselves and good people who need our help.

In martial art clubs, we just do normal cardio exercises and self defense basic skill training. No brainwashing to support political ideology propaganda like psychological hazing & hysical bullying here.

See? Both adults and kids are training martial art together with fun and safe without any anger, hatred or fear.

Some traditional martial arts like Nanpai Kungfu (ancient Southern Chinese Kungfu style) were created by military persons, but ancient militaries are totally different with modern military. Ancient military men who also martial art masters like General Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are working and training together with local villagers and monks on the field and fight together to protect their village from Wokou pirate attack. Both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were didn’t want to create mindless soldiers like robot, they want to teach the local people a martial art to defend their village. 

Modern military or Child Soldiers training is a short term unpeace training. The goal is to create loyal soldiers who expert in blade or firearm weapons combat and to make profit for the leader ambitions. Once the leader/commanders think you are weak/old/crippled/useless and no longer able to fight anymore, you will be expelled like a trash.

Modern military training is created to build loyal soldiers who always support the ambitious leader/dictator in modern corrupt era, of course those power hungry leaders will happy if they have strong “Hitmen” who always protect their throne and business. 

To create loyal soldiers who will never say “No” to their ambitious/corrupt leader, 2 brainwashing methods like Bloodthirty Propaganda (teaching those kids a doctrine filled with hatred) or Power Show Off (scare those juniors/recruits using psychological hazing, physical bullying and sexual harrasement) are often used to forcing the young soldiers to be loyal and obeying their seniors/commanders/leader. Lot of death like killed while get beated or raped are also often happens in military training camps.

Those “Hitmen” also very useful to silence/eliminate people who oppose them (no wonder why Army jerks are often abuse weak people, even in their own country. Violence training and power given by the dictator often making their minds become delusional).

Watch their eyes!! Lot of hatred, anger and fear.

But seriously, here in my country (Indonesia), public are often got the wrong idea and parents become affraid because most corrupt martial art organizations like Silat - Karate - Jujutsu here are often using military-style hazing culture in their teaching, for examples:

- Slapping their students during training.

- Kicking their students during training.

- Male students being forced to get buzz cuts and female students being required to have short tomboy hairstyles like at military schools.

- The students are often forced to participate at political march campaign or street convoy wearing political party t-shirts to support the organization leader's friends/allies/sponsors campaign event as requirement for belt promotion exams (Seriously!! Based on my personal experience!!).

Martial art and military training aren't the same thing Bro!!! Mixing 2 contradictive things is like mixing fire and water: You will get nothing, both elements will get extinguished and vanish into steam.

As long as modern people get smarter (thanks to the internet that improve their knowledge about modern science and reality of the outside world" "Oh!! So this is how things are done in real developed countries!"), your market target will vanish completely because nobody want to joining your Military Wanna Be dojos anymore.

Want a proof? Just look at big cities like Jakarta and nearby, the students of militaristic dojos like corrupt Silat - Karate - Jujutsu are drastically reduced nowadays.

Smarter people won’t join them anymore, modern - smarter people are prefer to choose Muay Thai - Wushu - Kickboxing - Boxing - Capoeira - Aikido - BJJ and other safer martial arts clubs that are peaceful, no drama and no militarism.
