Subject: Re: Anthony Huss? Author: Forum Member [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:37:55 06/29/04 Tue In reply to: Ryan 's message, "Re: Anthony Huss?" on 14:00:57 06/29/04 Tue The swimming analogy is not flawed. It is absolutely correct. Training to fight should involve something akin to fighting, i.e. sparring. The military and LEO's do indeed shoot their weapon. The similar analogy to what you just posted would be if they pointed their weapon at a target, and said "Bang" but never loaded a round into the chamber and pulled the trigger. As far as contracts, they are bad for ALL students because the student can't leave if they don't get what they want. If the instructor doesn't follow through on what was promised, that's too bad for the student. Month to month payments mean the instructor can still get paid, the student has flexibility, and there's no underhandedness. Shields once told the guy who I train with that he should have contracts because then if the people don't train, you can still get paid. He asked Shields what about if they get injured and can't? Dude had no response. So maybe some instructors think it's a good deal, most students accept it if they have to but I few think it's good for them.

Author: Ryan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:41:57 06/29/04 Tue Well, I'll just agree to disagree, since I don't think we'll be changing any minds here (and I try to stay away from heresay and third hand info.)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Contracts Again? Author: James Speight [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:53:36 06/30/04 Wed So let me see this about contracts “they are bad for ALL students” idea you want a commitment from your instructor but you don’t want to make a commitment to him. I know there are some underhanded things going on, “Belt Testing” $25 for a yellow, $1000 for a Black. Same $2.50 cotton belt. And I have seen a school that starts everyone one out on a $75 a month 12 month contact then increases in every year and makes you sign a new contract. So you have people paying different amounts like $75 $88 $110 just because they have been there longer. If a school is doing this they should be ashamed of themselves. But to blame the piece of paper that keeps you training a few months in the beginning while you are the most venerable to quit. When it is harder on your body and mind is crazy. Let’s say sex is bad because some people abuse it, not everybody is raping students. I have a six month contract that renews month to month after that and everybody pay the same amount, unless the rate gets raised in the first six months of someone’s contract then it gets raised after their six months is over when it goes to month to month. So let’s say it again. “All Contracts are not bad” Have something to say about a school then do it, but the contract shouldn’t be the only reason, you do to you don’t train with someone. We have visited this issue before. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
