Businesspeople devise their strategies around the market they are targeting. Same thing is happening here.
Its easier to target a demographic that is gullible, weak minded and one that wants to believe in magic tricks so as not to work hard. And the absence of any sort of competitive framework just reinforces the illusion one is selling.
Try the same on some hardened wrestlers or rugby league players (is an aussie sport for those that don't know) and see what the interest level is.
I once knew a guy whose parents sent him to a shaolin temple in china for 3-6 months to "harden up". Yep he knew some nice forms but when I mentioned we might do some light sparring there was horror in his eyes.
I guess in a market economy there is something for everyone. Ignorance is bliss.
