Good advise! Especially if it`s a Mantis school. It is good to find a happy median. I always ask visiting potential students, what do you want out of this? Everyone is differant, some want hand forms some want to specialize in weapons, two-person fighting drills, etc. I will remember the student`s needs and try my utmost to satisfy. I believe you should hit all of the above. I do make sure the student knows if there is something we do that makes he/she uncomfortable, don`t do it. (body cond. intense two person exercises) not everyone wants to beat the crap out of each other, or leave bruised after each class. It is nice to have hard cores who do though, keeps me sharp.
By the way Hua Lin, you are right about MC tests, they are all diff. from the stories I`ve heard. I was lucky to have experienced a difficult one.
