worrying

If I was you then a final warning would be issued that any more abusive behaviour will result in an instant banning.

There is no other way to deal with it.

I had an autistic lad train with me and I bent over backwards to try and accomodate him and capture his attention. I put up with tantrums and all sorts but was willing to continue.

The students around him didn't want to train with him or near him due to disruption, I normally got a senior to partner with him so really tried everything.

One session he turned around and slapped a girl across the face for no apparent reason, I made him sit out and explained to Mum that it was unacceptable, I was still willing to keep training him but he chose that as a reason to give up.

There is only so much you can take from any student, some behaviour is unacceptable, regardless of any problems or history they have.

If any of my senior students acted like this then I would remove their belt and say they would have to earn it back, first by appologising.

It frustrates more than anything because I worked hard and graded to each rank.

What he did was basically say he is going to stop and receives the belt as a honorary thing. And comes back to train wearing that rank and he hasn't graded properly for it.

Now it isn't really being fair to every one in the school, as we all went to gradings to earn each rank.

Archimoto how would you feel in this situation?

I used to worry about things like this a lot, and I probably still do. But I try not to. I'm in martial arts for myself. I'm competing with myself alone.
