It's best if your teacher is a bloodthirsty gangster with a history of aggresive violence and street fighting. That way you know if he is still alive, and not cripple, that his method works.

Even thou a teacher is not a priest,
teaching by acts speaks louder than teaching by speech.
We do not expect moral lessons from a MA teacher.
However, being a teacher of any kind, we have to pay attention to our acts or behaviors.

I personally avoid association with immoral and unethical people period.Even thou a teacher is not a priest,

I've quit jobs over issues of ethics and morality. I'd rather be temporarily impoverished than serve the unreasonable avarice of another.
I won't study under thugs nor will I commit time to practice with them, but I will observe and note their behaviours. These are generally the people you are defending against.
Just a personal choice of mine.
Kung Fu is good for you.

What if they are just a stone cold killer, but not actually a thug or covetous?
Do you need a warm personality too? Or is it ok of they are cold?
What if they have never desired to hurt anyone or taken anything from anyone but were still egotistical jerks?
Another question... If you observe and take note of their behaviors are you not investing time?
Itinerant practitioner
Too many hypotheticals. "what ifs" etc. I don't use them. the experience is either to be had or not.
Observation is not the same as giving them my time or money so no, it's not a significant investment. More of an acknowledgment.
Kung Fu is good for you.

Hypotheticals are the only things keeping us going at this point... lol.What if your teacher is bawang?
Clearly this is a moral stance. I'm just curious as to where that line is. I know where mine is, don't you know where yours is?
Itinerant practitioner
Bawang is all of our teacher is he not? Are we not entertained?
Anyway, a person morally aligns with you and you see this after time with them or you can have it immediately revealed to you depending on circumstance.
the rest is personal choice.
I personally won't study from such a person.
My loss I guess. Or not. It really doesn't matter as it is entirely going to be my experience anyway.

Exactly. So I lose nothing by living my life as I see fit.

Not from your perspective, nope. But this topic opens up a huge bag of involved conversation, so I'm happy to end with that.
If you're happy, I'm cool with that. As long as people don't mess with mine, I really don't worry what they do. That too opens a long convo as to what is destructive directly and indirectly, but you know what I'm sayin'.
