Ayy thanks. You rock too, fam. :D I've always wanted to try kung fu, but there aren't any schools near me. What are your classes like?

As for what my class is like, we have two instructors (one of whom is a close friend of mine) and a bunch of assistant instructors whom I, in all honesty, cannot stand. I could rant for hours about all the things they do wrong and all the things they do that annoy me, but we'll just leave it at....no. I used to be an assistant instructor myself, and everything they’re doing.....AAAAAH

Anyway, my old place was a lot better, which I could go on for hours about but basically, I really loved it. We had a master (5th dan) who used to be on the national team, as well as two instructors (2nd and 3rd dan) who were friends of mine. They were really nice to work with. But now I’m here, and dang, it’s just not the same... I’d rant about how I don’t like the way they teach and how they’re doing everything wrong, but aaaaaah I’ll stop.

Self defense was a big part of traditional TKD, but nowadays you see a lot of competition-focused schools who just worry about sparring and poomsae. I’m bad at explaining this but yeah
