Instructor woes

[Adamo]

I told the instructor that I was not interested anymore. I felt like sharing anything else would create a scene. His reaction was simple. In the end he said "well maybe you can come in when you aren't busy and still train."

He's grasping for things. He knows I've stopped but he'll take the hint eventually when I never show up again.

I'm glad I've escaped this situation without any hurt feelings or anger. I wish best of luck for those who wish to continue under his direction.

Thanks for your guy's help and thoughts on the situation.

not everyone's good with children that for sure. My sensei once told me he doesn't teach kids because he'd end up in jail.

I agree 100% - not all black belts can teach. As I read this post, I shook my head and I completely understand. There were several reasons I left my school and one of them being the politics involved with the instructors.

Not all can teach or should teach. Its especially apparent when you have family members running a school such as husband and wife, or other relatives. Inconsistencies with training, treatment of students, partiality to different students, especially family members...allowing the family member to "get away" with certain behaviors and yet not the students.

My spouse and I got disgusted and quit. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that other students or schools don't know about. But I saw them and it didn't change for the better.

Save your money and look elsewhere for a better school because there are better ones out there.
