Spike: “Sometimes i feel the things that need to be worked on the most are the basics.” I think you may have missed the intent of my post. The “basics” can be covered quickly enough to provide a basis for self protection, but only long time study gives you the depth. No intent missed - although i c...

Also, IMHO I feel that, on average, SANDAN should be the minimum rank that one should have their own dojo (conditions permitting)

"How many of you aspire or plan to be teachers, in your own Dojo or as a teacher in someone else's? " Do plan on teaching my own classes on a regular basis in a few years; I currently teach when assistance is asked.(formally and informally) "This question assumes that you will bear th...
