my school doesnt teach any weapons, cuz realistically, how often will you find yourself in that kind of situation?
.... although i do try to teach myself some... like staff(or old broom sticks) and i make an attempt at knife kinda |

Realistically you won't need most weapons. But they do teach us the concepts of extension. However, for things like knives, sticks and canes, it's not all that realistic not to need them.
I used to try to teach myself staff too! And sword! Imagine how jazzed I was when someone actually taught me how to use them! |

New topic!/question!
How competent does your instructor seem to you? And how well does he/she actually teach? Is he/she strict with younger students, or does he baby them? I'm just curious because I've seen all kinds of instructors. I've seen instructors that will promote you to black belt whether or not you really even come close to deserving it. I've seen instructors that resemble a football coach when they teach. The weird thing with me is that I've never learned from just one main instructor or master. I've learned the same style from several different point of views. Oh yeah, teh instructorness? |

@ white_knight_of_light: Oro?
@ Leaf Condition: Balance is important. With my students I used to be the only teacher, so I wasn't too strict, but I definitely didn't baby them either. Anyone ever learn from like, and older, very experienced master? |

That's good! There are a lot of bs teachers out there these days. Seriously, some people just read a "how to master kung-fu karate-jutsu in like, 10 easy steps," and then they open a freakin school... |
