In another thread I was posting how its easy to stay put if you reached a good level of an art, or rather a school.
With that said I have a few friends who are opening legit schools (not teaching a friend in a yard). Now, to me, and I tell them this, to each there own. The best of luck. Wish you well.
But, inside, I feel they are really not ready to take on that respnsibility, title. First, no one is giving them that title, for they broke off from their training.
Second, they are young, they still need to fight those fights, experience more.
Third, are they ready to defend their schools from a challenge.
And, lastly but most important in my eyes, Are they so good that they should stop learning? For some its hard to start from scratch, too humbling to be a "white belt" again.
I know the answer to each of these. And I think they do to ... but still they want that title.
Any thoughts?
