Re: OOT advice needed
Is the next year worth the money you paid?
That is to say, let's assume you're in for $1,000 for the next year. How much monetary value would you put on leaving and finding a better sensei? Maybe $500? So the total cost of leaving would be $1500 ($1000 at another dojo, plus the $1000 you're out, minus the $500 benefit you derive from leaving). Now how much do you feel it costs you to stay? How much does your time and annoyance with your current sensei cost you? If it costs you $600 worth of aggrivation, then you're out $1600 ($1000 you paid, plus $600). So I'd leave. If it costs you $200 then you're only out $1200, and you should stay. Only you can figure out how much it costs for either decision. I know this sounds rather robotic, but it's actually a pretty decent technique. For me it's a lot like Dale Carnegie meets David Sklansky.

Re: OOT advice needed
Try sport Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a while. Most schools are like an open forum. Not too much political BS, and the art is incredible. I started training in a traditional art (Judo) and switched over to BJJ after about a year. Total breath of fresh air. Been at it for 4 years now, and may get my purple belt next year. (FWIW it took 2 years to get past white to blue, the grading/advacement system is pretty stringent).

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. [/ QUOTE ] Is this the second time you have been knocked out recently? I recall you saying you got scribbled during the black belt test also. You can't keep rattling your giblets like that man. I know what I'm talking about here. You must take 6 to 12 month to recover before you risk hitting your head again. It will become easier and easier to get a concussion if you keep this up. You become like one of those fainting goats and a loud sound will knock you the [censored] out. Seriously be careful you must be able to continue training while not risking more head injuries. I really think it is important.
