Hello Jennie,

Those folks you described are called "Shadow Teachers". I can't stand them either! They're a major irritation in many dojo and a prime source of misinformation!

Since you mentioned that it's a big dojo with many more students, maybe you can avoid training with them altogether! If you can't avoid them, just roll with it (pun intended) and not let them ruin your training!

Good luck!
