bushido_man96 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 If you don't want to quit your Kempo school, then don't. Its really that simple. If you like this other school, and want to give it a try, then do so. Who knows; you may not like it as much as you think you will. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWx Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Repetition is v good but there comes a point when you have to try new things and do something different. Even if you're training the same techs. its good to take a fresh look at them. Don't stick with your Kempo school just out of loyalty either. If its not fulfilling your requirements it might be time to move on. Having said that though I wouldn't be too hasty to quit just because you're bored. Things may pick up a bit if you grade or something.Maybe try a bit of both for awhile?

Tzu-Logic Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 This thread is packed solid with great advice...and i agree with ninjanurse a lot but i also see the wisdom of what DWx is saying....And I can't see any harm in taking a free class to try the other school...Almost all dojos will give at least one free class to potental students. My school will three free lessons for people to try and decide...So maybe you can see if it all you really hope for or if it falls short of your expectations.Also a a small slightly off topic note: Under the curriculum section the left hand column is similar to the curriculum of my school... Those are some very good self defense arts to learn. I study Inayan Eskrima mostly, but all the FMAs on that list are all related somehow and I have a lot of respect for them.

dwarf2 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 If you leave, leave on good terms with your instructor, he or she will want you to stay, but this is about your personal developement, also you could ask your instructor about any special class where you can mix this up alittle , one thing in life at this point you are a student, but you are also a customer. I believe your instructor will work something out for you that will benefit you and him and this is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
