thaiboxerken Posted July 6, 2001 Author Posted July 6, 2001 Discipline and humility are not taught directly at my school. They are virtues that students must learn in order for them to last at our school. You'd be surprised how much discipline 15 rounds of pad work will teach a person.

thaiboxerken Posted July 6, 2001 Author Posted July 6, 2001 I don't kick their asses literally. I put them through intense workouts. Pad work is when a the person is kicking Thai-pads or focus mitts. This gives a mobile target and is very hard work. This builds self discipline very fast. When you have no energy but you have to keep working, it builds humility too.

Karateka Posted July 6, 2001 Posted July 6, 2001 Discipline comes when the person decides that they want to slack off and disrupt the group. That is how I teach. I will have fun and joke around and teach. If the person thinks they can take advantage of that, I prove to them that they are dead mistaken. My own personal methods.

Karateka_latino Posted July 6, 2001 Posted July 6, 2001 I think those type of school in which the intructor Yell at everyone and makes them do thousands of push up and hit thems with a bamboo stick on there back aren't earning respect.. they are just causing fear on there students.. But that's not respect... Students don't respect they fear.. you can have all the techniques on the world and beat the hell out of everyone and still Not be respected. Respect comes from been a role model, teach people something usefull for there lifes.. If you want to be respect as a MA instructor as a human being, You must Respect your students back. If you don't respect them they won't respect you no matter how much you yell and how much you punish them. I think All those schools who punish there student unfairly and treat little kids as boot camp soldiers are totally wrong. Thanks.
Kickbutt Posted July 6, 2001 Posted July 6, 2001 Well said, Submission Fighter!! I totally agree! My instructors gained my respect after setting the example - the eat, breathe and live what they teach and are some of the most disciplined people I've ever met. They do however, make it clear that you are there to work hard and because I respect them so much, I want to be like them and strive to be as disciplined as they are. Ouss.

jiu-jitsu fighter Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 me too , if a guy hit me , ill be like good job, you know ,and sometimes when im rollin and i try to correct my partners techniques he will be like "STOP STALLING I WANT TO LEARN" ,and im like chill out , these people are too serious ,like i love ma's and im serious about it, but if class isn;t fun than i wouldn't want to go "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
Kirves Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 Some people enjoy the relaxed style, some enjoy the bootcamp. That's just life in all it's glory. Maybe they quit after 3 months in your club, maybe they stick to someone else's club, who knows. Just do as you feel right and let the students worry where they belong. And the teenagers grow out of the Bruce Leroy phase. Let them have the fun (?) of it. Maybe their dad is a bad role model and the only idol they found was a movie character? At least they're out of the streets while they're in the dojo.
