OOT advice needed
 

I've obtained my 1st Dan (Black Belt) but do to recent events (too long to go into here) I'm having "issues" with my Shihan (Master). I'll be training in some form of Martial Arts the rest of my life...its the best thing that ever happened to me and I'm paid up through September. I will be moving on to another Dojo my question is this:

Should I move on now or wait until September?

We need to know what the issues are between you and your master.

In a nutshell, I questioned his methods (privatly, not in the open). He chewed my a$$ off in his office, and ever since then, I've been shunned by him and a few of the Sensei's.

you should change your dojo asap...those type of teachers who behave like that to a student asking questions don't know jack and not worth learning from.

What the hell. To elaborate even further...

In a sparring class he pitted me against a 3rd degree Black Belt who proceeded to knock me out. I sustained a concussion and received a hairline fracture in my arm. The fracture prevents me from sparring for the next 3-6 months. When I complained in his office, thats when the $hit hit the fan.

Shihan is the final authority in this matter.

I can give you advice about how to handle a master but it has nothing to do with martial arts [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Hey, is Senzo Tanaka your shidoshi? If so, show us the Dim Mak.
