“Seriously!!!???? is that your response to a comment about a little kid that’s being bullied on your watch!!??? “Go out there and let us know how it goes”!!!!???? Like you have no responsibility for this kid safety and well being, as a teacher and as a human being? No intent to investigate, to say the least, what is going on in your school? I believe that the core principles or pillars of martial arts are still discipline, respect, and patience, but evidently, not in your gym. My son took judo classes when he was little (I can give you the name of the place because it is still around— too bad is far from where they live) and the most important things he was taught early on was, 1) follow the rules, 2) discipline, and 3) respect, that's why he enrolled his son in your martial arts school, to learn the technique but also to form him as a respectful adult. You might have a million medals and hold a 6th degree black belt, but you are clearly does not care about discipline and respect, responsibility, or the safety of your little students entrusted to you to teach and guide them. What type of gym are you running, a daycare for little kids or a place where values and respect are also taught as part of the package? such a disgrace to the sport and such a lack of respect to the community and parents! I definitely second the idea of a full review, by either the WFMAF, USJJF, USJJO, IBJJF, and any other regulator out there!”
