What Is Your Biggest Headache As An Instructor?

Biggest headache: not enough time.

I agree there. Oh, what I would do with a two hour time slot.

another pain is the constant compairison to MMA or other martial arts. People dont do research, show up and want to be taught stuff we dont do. Like we dont do weapons and they want weapons training, or we dont grapple on the ground and they want Jiu Jitsu from Karate!

Its sad that we have issues with this stuff but we do.

It can be frustrating, but I think its good that these things actually cause people to come looking.

I'm curious about the pain points you all experience.

1. What are the biggest problems you all face as instructors on a day-to-day basis?

2. If you own your own school, what problems cost you the most money?
