karatekid1975 Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 How cool is that!Ok, let me explain. My sister called today. She put my nephew into a "sidekicks" class for wee ones at my old dojang (he earned his first belt today ). She called me from there today after his class. My old instructor knew who she was talking to, and stole the phone (She was on her cell phone). Mind you, I haven't trained there in 4 years, other than the one day thing here and there when I visited NJ. He told me to bring my uniform (I still have my TSD uniform )and train when I come down (he never charges me for a few days training). He sounded like he was excited that I was coming down. So yea, I think that is so cool!Did anyone else experience this from their previous instructor?I'm just thrilled, so I had to share it with the KF gang Laurie F
Mischievousjoe Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Thats really nice!I have a similiar experience whenever i'm home from school on breaks, my instructor invites me back and seems happy to see me. He never asks me for money, but I usually give him what I can anyway. It's always nice to see people that you used to spend 5 nights a week training with for several years and to see how everyone has progressed in an absence. Glad to hear of your positive experience, theres nothing quite like feeling apreciated by a teacher you respect and admire.

karatekid1975 Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 Yea, it was awsome. I totally agree. My old school is the same way Laurie F

MasterH Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 I've been training with the same instructor for 20 years now. He's had a bunch of instructors in that time and I'm always running into one or another and I get invited to train or teach or just hang all the time. It's a family thing, blood or not. Once you sweat with someone, it's very cool. Go! And enjoy yourself! Adam (Fluffy) Huntleyhttps://www.rleeermey.comhttps://www.martialartsindustry.net
