Re: Dealing with a jerk...

I know what you mean dude. We recently had a new family come into the dojo. Good people, honestly, but here is the problem: He is a non-dan, white-belt rank, truly a very beginner, less than 3 week along. While he seems to be doing well, his ettiquette in the dojo is appauling. We were training in Gokyo the other day, both tenkan and from Munetski, and he was trying to teach the instructor! While he looked offended, he poised and took a breath and moved on. I think he is going to get wailed on one day if he does'nt realize. Then he went on to give this ridiculous tale of how he used what he'd learned already to subdue a drunk guy 'instinctively' at a store. My only thought was 'gimme a break'
