Some people you just can't teach. Although, I resent the 10th degree white belt label...I have two small kids..that's my excuse!

You definately make things more comfortable for us newbs to feel at home @ Joslins! I especially like your advise in the BJJ class re: you're going to lose a lot at first. Some may think that's a negative, but it truly helps, cause yeah I get schooled class in and class out, and at first I just thought I sucked (well, kinda do but only cause I'm new lol), but it's all part of the learning process, and can only make me better if I learn from each instruction you give/roll partner. Thanks man! Great read for sure! You definately make things more comfortable for us newbs to feel at home @ Joslins!

The 'know-it-all' attitude is difficult to counter, however, because they're not interested in a logical discussion. Instead, they only have ears for the things that reinforce their current attitude. This leaves the teacher with few options: 1. try to alter (read: destroy) the misguided perception the student has, and hope they recover with a better attitude. 2. Let the natural consequences of their attitude and beliefs unfold. Personally, I'm for the second option because it's experiential; the first creates the potential for the student to merely resent the teacher. However, if the student is really poisoning the class, and action is required fast, then sometimes the first option is called for. Of course, this view is merely based on my own meandering experience as a teacher (not a martial arts teacher), so it may not apply at all.

LOL at that Aikido guy. What a joke. But in all seriousness there are some great Aikido schools/guys out there and it is a great art for Law Enforcement/Self defence and who knows maybe we will see it in MMA one day. Look at Machida. Years ago if somebody saw him in his karate gi doing kata's, sparring in karate tournaments you would of never of thought that he would knockout Rich Franklin, Thiago Silva, Rashad Evans using his Shotokan Karate techniques/stances. When MMA gets as popular around the world as it is in North America we will see more and more fighters from all sorts of different MA styles(taekwondo,kung fu, karate etc..) applying techniques you wouldn't normally see to often in todays MMA world. Anyways have a safe and happy holidays guys! Good advice Jeff!

First clip is of a crazy Daitouryu-aikido master named Yanagiryuken training with his students and magically kicking butt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tib2Urowsdc Second clip is him in a full contact fight with some karate kid. The look on his face when he takes probably his first real punch is priceless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMgVmFzBrus This is great example of someone who thought they new everything and turned out they knew nothing, (I don’t know how how to embed videos here so you’ll have to cut and paste).
