Interesting and I hope I am not going off topic here but I find this relevant to a situation.

I have been training for about 11 years in mainly three arts. Now I started when I was 7 lost a few years because I got bored (I was small ).

Thing is its often hard for me to take advice from people mainly because they are telling me what I already know, usually its training partners and usually I just be calm and listen but after being told what im doing wrong (which is brilliant I love my partners to do that so I get better) they do tend to go on and on about why doing so and so thing is good and I personally find it hard not to get bored because I mean I have been doing this for a long time. Its the equivalent to someone saying and explaining why a spoon is good everytime you use one. Because I look alot younger than I am I don't really get taken seriously and I can find this tedious when im actual fact usually I know more than the person teaching me. It just makes me wonder how I am supposed to act in this situation.

Thing is I could do the same back to them and explain in great detail about certain techniques but I never do because I feel like it isn't my place to do so, maybe because I don't think I would be taken seriously.
