Great answer! In the sense that all teachers should continue their martial journey and train just as hard or harder than their students. I always think you earn the respect of your students when you ask them to do something hard and you do it with them, it takes away the dictator feeling and replaces it with a training partner mentality, but one where they still respect your knowledge and expertise. That and I love to work out hard core.
