*bows deeply*
I think in all ...Hello Maija et al,<br /><br />*bows deeply*<br /><br />I think in all of us there are varying degrees of Collector Mentality <br /><br />With that said I want to offer the other side - I don't know the arrangement you have with your student but I know for someone in my position of not having that much funds to devote to MA perhaps your student was looking for different exposure. More bang for the buck so to speak Will this Road lead to mastery? Probably would be longer<br /><br />Following up on the different exposure, again not knowing your student , but for others it's possible they haven't gravitated towards Push Hands yet (or whichever area they deem a 'repeat') and perhaps wanted exposure to different parts of the style and see what appeals to them. <br /><br />Your point is very valid especially with an eye towards functionality and mastery. Just offering some yin to your yang (collector mentality). People are strange at times. They haven't thought things through (perhaps like me in this post - lol at me)<br /><br />Very truly yours in the MA,<br /><br />-sgStickgrapplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942498807835887798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827293309574913027.post-55273038215098141322013-08-30T14:35:50.309-07:002013-08-30T14:35:50.309-07:00Yes have encountered this in many forms and in man...Yes have encountered this in many forms and in many places. The there seminars just cover the fundamentals. there was nothing new. People turn up expecting to get a grading despite the last time they trained was the last seminar, 6 month or a year ago.The European Historical Combat Guildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425115205496881300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827293309574913027.post-82468521229938606632013-08-30T10:01:14.681-07:002013-08-30T10:01:14.681-07:00This attitude drives me crazy.

I already learned that last week. Can we do a new one?"<br /><br />Took every ounce of willpower not to just boot him out of class. (Or respond with "are you fucking kidding me"?)<br /><br />The collector mentality wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't collect things badly.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379685641338041168noreply@blogger.com
