Isn't it weird how things end up?

Question

okay, so i used to go to a different martial arts school than the one i am at now. there, there was an instructor of whom i really respected, he was like a drill Sargent, everything had to be perfection to the best of our abilities! on top of that he was actually an extremely talented martial artist. i left that studio because i was moving, now i check back on what was going on with that studio, and i find out that instructor moved to a new one a couple states a way, he no longer teaches a traditional martial art, its more like MMA and he teaches Hiphop dance there as well<(O___O)>

so has anything like that happened to you?

Answer 1

Yes I have had Martial art teachers move on or into areas of practice that I thought were weird. Now I am a teacher and I keep my curriculum the same it is &quot;mixed&quot; ...Kung fu, Kempo Karate, and Tang Soo Do...I also incorporate some ground work. My students know what to expect from me...I will not go off into weird tangents.....It is good to see you in YA again

Answer 2

Sounds like he got enlightened.... and found a place where he could use Kata and flashy moves from TMA in Hip Hop dance....

LOL!

I am just playing... sorta.

Actually you find this a lot, especially the more hardcore a place the more likely there is going to be some people getting burned out.. A star can only burn so bright for so long. Usually the more hardcore a place is, the quicker it&#039;s life expendency... meaning it will retain students for a while, but eventually the school, or the instructor will burn out from trying to keep up.

Additionally, people change as they grow older, their priorities shift, especially in the world of Martial Arts where most of the time Martial Arts is what some does on the side, as opposed to a full time job. Also people and the politics and drama of people get involved.

It is weird how things and people change, but that is also a part of moving on in life, and everyone&#039;s own personal journey.

I have had so many things like this happen to me it is not funny lol.

The funniest things are like how you know a guy in high school who is a big time womanizer/player then he grows up and comes out of the closet and you find out he is g*y.

Complete 180s like that are always weird... but that is life...

Who knows you may look back at yourself 10 years from now and be surprised and the total change you have gone through...

I know I do...

Answer 3

Things and what people do don&#039;t last forever. The good and the bad don&#039;t either and there are many reasons for it. what does last almost forever are our memories of them.
