When do you know you have outgrown a teacher?

Question

What is the natural progression of a student/ teacher relationship? When does one know when to move to a new teacher?

Answer 1

When the teacher can no longer teach you anything regarding a subject that you do not already know.  At a certain point, this becomes obvious.  So it is with many of the instructors in martial arts.

Answer 2

Uh when you move up a grade?? LOL
