Goju_boi Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I guess if things were to go sour you should try to end it on light note instead of telling her all this stuff that's just going to annoy the daylights out of her. https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kara Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I think it's ok to pursue someone you like. just make sure to me aware or the dangers. Not everything works out the way you'd hope. I think it's ok for teachers and students to date aslong as it's respectful and goes un-noticed, and there's no politics infecting the dojo. The students are the ones i'd incourge to hook-up in the matter or fun and joyous fulliment in they're lives, the motivation of training together is a huge plus. Much to talk about after class, and things to do together outside of the dojo. In the situation of the relationship going sour, well, then it's a test of character and disipline. Dont be a fool. Be respectful. Still be attenitive and learn to stay patient and accepting of people. But dont let them walk all over you either. I had a great time while with someone at my dojo! Loved every minuite of it. though when it was over, there was no chance for us to be in class together anymore and there was no chance to see how it would have gone. i know that I'd be fine and still be 100% satisfied in class. but as for him, i'm not so sure, i'd imagine that it'd not effect him much either. but it's not assistive to our situation and i do not know for sure.I'd definatly do it again if the opportunity arises. And incourage it in the dojo aslong as it's a good connection with good people that i know are mindful.

And incourage it in the dojo aslong as it's a good connection with good people that i know are mindful.I agree. I also dated someone in my school for a while, and It was great for me, as well. Our relationship did go sour (extremely), but we had no problem training together afterwards, and we seem to have gotten past our "differences" (at least, she's speaking to me without a snarl!). My instructor's wife is a student, and I've never heard her refer to him as anything but Mr. and Sir while in the school; no one thinks much of it.

Goju_boi Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 lol,I guess it's not that bad,but wouldn't it be distracting from learning in class? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karatekid1975 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 lol,I guess it's not that bad,but wouldn't it be distracting from learning in class?Not at all. Like Mr Mike said, if you are mature about it, it won't be distracting. My boyfriend and I train together. We did meet in the dojang (not this one, but my old dojang in NJ). He didn't train yet, but showed a lot of interest in it. So when I moved here with him, we hunted for a dojang to train at together. We never had a problem. We keep our "personal" relationship outside the dojang. Only a few people know that we are actually a couple (the ones that have been there for a long time with us). As far as training goes, we think of each other as students inside the dojang, nothing more. We have no problem sparring or doing any kind of partner drills together.
