I'm not really going to defend SCARS, here, since I haven't studied it and am basing what I've said on viewing an early set of tapes once and reading about Jerry Petersen in several magazine articles. If I had to depend on a martial art, I would rely on what I learned in several years of studying Tang Soo Do.
That said, how does Petersen making money off this automatically disqualify it as legitimate? I've seen many of you guys sing the praises of 1 day seminars in use of the knife, etc. in other threads. Furthermore, I would venture to say that the vast majority of you learned your various styles at school you paid to attend. Quite likely you paid additional fees when you tested for promotion, too. Does that make your school and style less legitimate?
This thread has a high probability of degenerating into a "my style is best" thread, so let's try to keep to the original topic as much as possible.
