bushido_man96 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The leadership of the last organization I was with (the USIKA) got together and voted to remove me from the group. (Nice buncha guys) Anyhow, my instructor really stood next to me during this.Even before hand my loyalties were with my sensei, but now it is even much more so.It is none my business, but what happened? Kudos to your instructor for sticking by you. An orgainized group of individuals like that can be intimidating. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I would say that my loyalty is to myself and to my family and friends. Now Uechi has several different groups that have broken off and come back, and broken off and come back. etc. We're sort of like a big family. So in my case, I try and stay out of it and be friendly with everyone if that makes any sense. I really despise politics and always try and learn from everyone.You are right about politics...they cause so many problems within good MA organizations. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbelt_girl15 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I think that in most casses I would stick with my instructor, it would be hard for me to leave the cuong nhu assosiation since our whole "family"is fairly close knit, hmmm.I guess it would depend on why he left the association.

italian_guy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 It depends why he splitted and what is going to do next, but most of the times I would stay with my instructor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordtariel Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 much harder to have loyalty to an institution than an actual person. There's no place like 127.0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymac Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 This is an easy question.... I would absolutely stay with my instructor. It isnt the organization that is training me. Luckily, we arent with any organizition. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran-Lilith Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Normally there's some dissenting votes in a poll...it's interesting how that in this one, everybody has voted that they would remain with a teacher over an orginization. Kinda vaguely reminds me of the samurai loyalty thing. They served Japan, but before Japan came their daimyo. The first example off the top of my head is the 47 ronin.

KarateK Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Given that my sensei is my mum I think will have to go with instructor!! Although generally given any of the other sensei in the club, would still be them. Karate Ni Sentinashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
