SevenStar Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 You should always spar with people that are your rank. I disagree with that. the way you get better is by training with people better than you are.
SevenStar Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 FWIW, your instructor sounds like he has zero control and should have the rank that he has. If he's calling students wimps, then he has some character flaws also that are not becoming of a teacher. IMO, 45 mins is WAY too short for a class duration and by having brown belts that look like crap, that tells me that instruction there is likely sub-par. I would find a new school.
Uechi Kid Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 If, for the most part you enjoy your training, stick with it. If you're not a black belt you will be and then your input will have more impact. Be careful about changing schools. Styles like Goju Ryu are very tight nit. Your Sensei has a high rank. If you try to change schools(within Goju Ryu) you might find your self with no place to train. Good luck More Practice
