All the karate instructors i have had were way better than me and still actually practised what they preached....not just stood up front of the class spouting commands on techniques they cant do themselves........unlike some schools where the new blackbelt has started to teach...!! what does he know.? what can he teach other blackbelts...experience counts for alot in karate and BLACK BELTS are now imho given away to almost anyone.
