It’s both. It’s how you are saying it in that your “why”s are a bit pushy and confrontational. I’m not saying you can never say ‘why’ (I have asked that myself here recently), but keep in mind that in communication ‘why’ is like a seasoning that you can be too heavy handed with because it can be taken as frustratingly confrontational and often prompts a defensive response when it’s used with a bit too much weight.So its not what i'm saying, but how i'm saying it?
matches are not training, but they are great practice.
Good training - competent instructors providing effective feedback on well vetted and reliable technique in a safe environment w/ effective context for the situations discussed. I also require that the instructor have trained him/herself within 6 months to a year. I want to learn from the eternal student.
Help me understand how you're receiving what i'm saying so that i might better articulate the message. What type of training am i describing?
You are also presenting your ideas as a bit cut and dried in areas that I think are more gray. Think many routes to get to the same destination. You may say that one route is the only way to go. I may disagree or point out different possibilities for other routes that are appealing. Also consider the conveyed significance of that exact destination (as it’s being presented by you).
Someone can give a great recommendation of a trainer and twelve people can tell me how much they love them and I can take their class and be open as hell yet get crap out of it. Know that.
You presentation of ideas and some of the ideas themselves comes off a bit elitist, and I tend to rail against that kind of vibe.
