My sifu uses contracts, but I have never felt any more ripped off that I do with a phone contract. Let's face it, this is a sue happy culture we live in. The contract gives the teacher an out if he has a spong. This type of person can and will sue for discrimination if they are asked to leave. But if they don't abide by the contract... It is also a promise to follow the rules. It gives Sifu a way to weed out those undesirables who are only there to learn how to bully more effectively, ect...Originally Posted by Iron_Eagle_76
