Inside McDojoLife: Exposing Fraud & Protecting the Martial Arts Community
Rob Ingram — aka McDojo Life — joins Jenn and Mal for a deeply honest conversation about what really goes on in some martial arts schools. In this episode, we talk about fraud, abuse, and the people who use “dojo” as a disguise for predatory behavior.
Rob shares how he’s uncovered fake instructors, cult-like gym cultures, predatory behavior, and financial scams. We also confront the darkest parts of this industry — sexual misconduct, child exploitation, and why so many martial arts schools operate with zero accountability.
⚠️ Trigger Warning
This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse, grooming, rape, child exploitation, physical violence, suicide (including child suicide), and predatory behavior within martial arts communities.
Listener discretion is strongly advised.
Please prioritize your mental and emotional well-being before listening.
This is more than critique — it’s a call to reform. If you believe in martial arts as a force for good, this episode will challenge you, inform you, and hopefully move you.
