Probably the most famous case of bullshido, karate gang wars and mob ties to come out of American martial arts. There are still a lot of rubes out there that believe the death touch actually exists or that pressure point attacks can be of serious use in self defense.
Bullshido is such an interesting scam, it's dressed up to give people such unfounded confidence and will get them in a lot of trouble when they try to use it. I think that if someone came up with a Harry Potter themed version they could catch a bunch of libs.
Marketed towards people who never been in a fight in their life so they have no clue what is bullshit and what isn't. He use to advertise on the back of comic book pages lol.
I do suspect that a lot of them are willfully ignorant because sparring and exercise is scary, constant awards and belts keep their dopamine high.

the whole psudeo martial art eastern culture worshipping in the 70s and 80s is so weird to me
