Money,Money,Money must be funny.

I don't charge because I wasn't charged and I don't have to make a living from it. If I had to pay rent I would charge, simple as that. The best reason for not receiving money is that I don't have to be beholden to anyone to reciprocate. I don't become a hired servant.

I seem to remember in Tae Kwon Do, after a certain level, maybe red or black, you didn't pay fees anymore, the thinking being, that was your compensation for teaching so much of the class.

I wonder if that de-motivated any of the black belts?



I think that issues of liability change with a non commercial school. No different than a bunch of guys playing soccer in the park.

That was the case with me.
It become my responsibility to teach kids classes and to warm-up or teach the adult classes.
It was a learning process for me and helped my MA very, very much.
I also felt even MORE obligated to be better.
That I was paying for MA training never motivated me any more or less, that's just not me.

Very nice and Pure hearted.

What do you think Mr Faruq?

[once ronin]

Harry Ng had 2 levels of students. The ones that took care of him as a father and the ones that took care of him as a master.

Once these teachers have a core of students, examples to follow, they tend not to worry too much about money. Their students worried for them.

There is also teachers out there know that their skill are high enough, that they know their students will never catch up to them. Why hold back and why charge for learning basics.

My humble opinion is that that is how it should be. It says on Mike Doucet's web site that Pak Mei masters are business owners who happen to be masters of Pak Mei. They don't make their living from Pak Mei. You have said this a few times here already as well, Mr Dark Chi (you'd be a real-life version of Jason Bourne/Matt Damon, kicking butt and taking names all over!!!).

Who is Jason Bourne/Matt Damon?
Is he filthy rich from teaching KF? Yes I could be that!!! (dreams of lots of Gold coins dropping from heaven)
Never mind I'll Google him.

No, he's a spy that uses his CIA combat techniques in his movies to effortlessly mow down the dozens of foreign operatives that relentlessly come at him (in the movies of course).

Oh right, so many movies to watch.............sigh

No need to watch the movie. You've got the moves he uses in real life! Better ones I'm sure, in fact!
