Re: Dan Essays

I think some of the responses indicate a misunderstanding of the purpose of the essays. I have talked to a few instructors who use them, not necessarily because of requirements within their affiliations, but because they want to see if the student has the ability to think and research "beyond the mat". The instructors are not looking for entertaining reading material (as some have surmised, it's probably pretty boring stuff), but are looking to see that trainees can organize and express their thoughts (something that is essential if one aspires to instruct).
