sensei8 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 For clarity sake, the story I shared was NOT part of any testing cycle. NO! These moments were during regular classes with my Dai-Soke. I'm sure that me using the word "test" in the sharing made it appear, to some, that it was a "test", but it never was an OFFICIAL test. "Test" was the word used by Dai-Soke, and not by myself. This was his way, not just for me, but for any Shindokan student. **Proof is on the floor!!!

What was his whole point of abusing you until you got angry enough to yell at him? https://www.kyokushinblog.comhttps://www.combatscholar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was his whole point of abusing you until you got angry enough to yell at him?Dai-Soke was never abusive, and if he was, I would've left Shindokan a long time ago. Dai-Soke always CHALLENGED us, that was his way, and that was the way of our Soke as well. While it may seem like a "crappy thing to do", I never felt it that way then, nor do I feel that way now. To know him is to understand him; he was very compassionate both on and off the floor.If the way that I wrote the OP has painted a negative hue about the situation as well as my Dai-Soke, then the fault is mine, and not Dai-Soke's. **Proof is on the floor!!!

Fair enough. But what was the point of the "test"? https://www.kyokushinblog.comhttps://www.combatscholar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
