should i quit my club?

Thanks all! I'm definitely gonna follow my heart. The class I do was always more a martial sport with great emphasis on the competitive side. I understand both the financial burdens on any club owner and the need to educate students in self defence....

 

...but I still wanna win with the martial sport I started out with.

 

Thanks again all!

Well, if you've been training in competition fighting for a number of years then you should be able to continue that on your own.

 

The training you do in your 'syllabus' class should cover fitness aspects and you'll probably be able to take some of the training from that over into competition sparring.

 

However, have a good look around at the other clubs in your area before firmly deciding to switch. Before you make the decision to move to another club, then ask your instructor if she would consider running competition classes, but on a less-regular (eg monthly) basis. Or if she would consider giving you and any other competition-minded students private lessons.
