Sanuces
Yes Sir; I have experienced that first hand! I have been an owner operator of of my first dojo for (7yrs.), I opened another school (2yrs.), ago, and it is difficult and sometimes frustrating loosing students to watered down instruction! People say they want the "Real Thing" but when it is time for them to come and get it, they realize that the comitment, and sacrifice is to great for them! So they leave and go train at schools that will sell them "Rank"!Amos Stevens said:

SHINTO MUSO-RYU JO
An Introduction
Shinto* Muso-ryu jo is said to be the oldest style for using a stick (jo) in combat in Japan. It was founded in the early 17th century by Muso Gonnosuke Katsuyoshi, an exponent of Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu. Shinto Muso-ryu oral tradition maintains that Gonnosuke once fought Miyamoto Musashi, one of the most famous swordsmen of the time, with a staff (bo) in a training match and was defeated by Musashi’s cross-block (jujidome) technique.
According to legend, Gonnosuke was dissatisfied with this outcome and retired to Mt. Homan, in what is now Fukuoka Prefecture, in Kyushu, where he engaged in a series of religious austerities, all the while contemplating the reasons for his defeat. Finally, he received "divine" inspiration about a new method of using a staff-like weapon, making it shorter (50 1/4") and thinner (7/8") for more rapid manipulation. He devised a number of techniques for this new weapon, which he called a stick (jo) (as opposed to staff or bo), that included the use of the thrust (tsuki) of a spear, strike (utsu) of a sword and staff and sweep (harai) of a naginata. Factual documents of the style (ryu) are quite rare. It is said that there is a record at Tsukuba Shrine, in Ibaragi Prefecture, that reports that Gonnosuke was able to defeat Musashi in a rematch. This story is not recorded elsewhere, however, outside fictional novels, and may not be factual.
There are a total of 64 techniques in Shinto Muso-ryu jo that are divided into a number of sets, each with a different character. Training is systematic and develops the exponent’s technical skills and psychological abilities, from body movement and weapons handling to the proper use of timing, targeting, and distancing, and intense mental or spiritual training, all to enable the exponent to successfully use the weapon in mortal combat. Exponents begin their study of jo by learning a set of twelve basic techniques (kihon waza), which contain all of the style’s essential movements. They then proceed through different sets of techniques of stick versus sword(s): omote, chudan, ran-ai, kage, samidare, gohon no midare, and okuden. A final set, the gokui hiden (also called go muso no jo), consists of techniques that are taught only to exponents who have received a menkyo kaiden, the highest level of license in the system.
Also included in the curriculum of the Shinto Muso-ryu jo are twelve techniques of swordsmanship called Shinto-ryu kenjutsu. The first eight techniques are long sword versus long sword, followed by four techniques that are long sword versus short sword.
There are four levels of recognition in Shinto Muso-ryu jo. They are okuiri-sho, sho-mokuroku, go-mokuroku, and menkyo kaiden. Menkyo kaiden is the style’s highest level of recognition and these exponents are the only people who are legally qualified to teach and promote exponents of Shinto Muso-ryu jo.
In addition to Shinto Muso-ryu jo and Shinto-ryu kenjutsu, a number of separate arts are taught at various points in an exponent’s training. They are considered assimilated arts, and include Uchida-ryu tanjojutsu, Ikkaku-ryu juttejutsu, Isshin-ryu kusarigama-jutsu, and Ittatsu-ryu hojojutsu.
