Should we have challenges in the MA community?
I ask this for one reason, because we have no formal way of identifying who should be teaching and who shouldnt be. There are a lot of people out there that claim to be a teacher and claim to have a lot of background but possibly do not, and only have a story to back them up.
I understand that in the asian community (and if you are asian and disagree, please correct me on this) it is common, or was more so in the not so distant past, to challenge so-called sifu in the community. This was often doen by people of similar MA but not always, a common reason to challeneg someone was to see if they knew enough to teach the person challenging. Anyway, What I am wondering is, should the MA community look at this sort of thing as a way of making sure that people who are teaching should be?
