Its a great feeling assisting the junior grades, and being in a position to drive them to further greatness Hawkmoon!

Instructing is one of the things I miss most about not having the dojo easily accessible to me at the moment.

Yes it is to be honest ( I'm aware I present the activity as some kind of chore, its not, thats just my humor.)

To see them act on what is said or put into practice a concept is rewarding ... teaching is not my thing just now, not something I'm driving towards.

I consider myself a student now and for some time to come, but they see and respect my input and views which is nice ... even a surprise tbh!
