The instructor cannot fix anything that they aren't aware is happening. <br /><br />A brown belt has enough control that if they are hurting people, it's likely intentional. They have a lot more body control due to their time on the mat.<br /><br />Tell the instructor.<br /><br />Do you have a follow up to this yet?JiuJiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780191019906512802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-8601643270340429602014-07-10T23:42:24.452-05:002014-07-10T23:42:24.452-05:00Regardless of the character issues that Kitsune br...Regardless of the character issues that Kitsune brings up, there's the fact that if one of your brown belts is injuring your other students that's flat out bad for your school, bad for your team atmosphere, bad for your students, bad for everyone. <br /><br />It only takes ONE person like that to completely destroy a gym.Kintanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796702227315166975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-80139838311582798692014-07-10T08:39:54.045-05:002014-07-10T08:39:54.045-05:00If I was this instructor, I would want to know abo...If I was this instructor, I would want to know about this.<br /><br />Some people have disagreed with me when I opine that honor and character (on and off the mat) are (or should be) a factor in promotions. If I was teaching, I wouldn't want to promote an asshole to black belt and give hir that sort of power. The above is behavior unworthy of a high-ranking martial artist, and should be addressed.<br /> SavageKitsunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316123482167861940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-83593907354082619622014-07-09T12:11:55.203-05:002014-07-09T12:11:55.203-05:00It sounds like this jackhole has already hurt a co...It sounds like this jackhole has already hurt a couple folks..<br />If the brown belt has hurt more than one person, it should be very easy to tell the instructor: <br />"He hinted that he hurt someone before because they wouldn't go out him, so I won't train with him, but then he hurt blue belt bob, and purple belt pete, I think it's because they're friends of mine."<br />The instructor should be able to see the writing on the wall.<br />J.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01178470833734845831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-28695785019723020522014-07-09T11:33:11.112-05:002014-07-09T11:33:11.112-05:00WB's friends can all refuse to train with BB o...WB's friends can all refuse to train with BB on the grounds that he/she is injuring them unnecessarily. Leave the hearsay out of it, since it was obviously already reported to the instructor and they are unable to control the BB's actions.<br /><br />Unless there are only 4 people in this academy, then this seems like a very adequate / simple solution.Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060069082138016910noreply@blogger.com
