Iamrushman, Just to put things into perspective, I run the club with my brother who is the same grade as me and has been training as long as I have. We are part of a net work of 22 clubs under my instructor who recently gained his 5th dan and his wife who at the same time received her 4th dan. All the instructors get together to discuss teaching practices so we both get alot of support, then our clubs all belong to the TAGB so we also have their support as well. I just don't want anyone out there thinking that the first thing we did when we strapped on our Black Belts was to start trying to teach people. And to anyone thinking of starting there own club I would say two things, make sure you have plenty of people to go and ask questions and It's a mighty steep learning curve for yourself. Kinky
