With YouTube these days, that teaches you just about everything, will dojos go out of business?

Question

Hello,
You want to know how to defend yourself against, say a chock hold, YouTube will give you minimum 5 different ways to do it. You want to learn to do, say a roundhouse kick, punch, block, etc, YouTube has tutorials on that. Want to learn how to defend against a knife attack, YouTube has tutorials on that. Want to learn how to deal with weapons, there are tutorials on that. All you need to do is find a partner to practice and spar with. With YouTube and the internet, will dojo's become obsolete?

They are already going out of business but they will come back. There’s just no way for online learning to beat in person learning.

Have you tried to do surgery from youtube yet. its the same thing as teaching yourself how to fight from youtube.

The only thing that happens when you are self taught is you become so riddled with mistakes that you become unteachable.
