However, in our PFS classes we also do standup, but with a view to skills development, rather than learning patterns.<br /><br />The school is great, has a nice crowd and good facilities. I really enjoyed my time there, and I will keep attending the PFS classes there.<br /><br />Even without a time clash between the Karate and BJJ classes, I would have eventually decided to save my energy for the BJJ classes. The bottom line is I'm addicted to BJJ where I lost my fire for Karate.<br /><br />Interestingly, the Sensei at the other Dojo (Karate school) has incorporated a lot of other stuff, including groundwork, into his Karate curriculum. They also do a lot of sparring as far as I can see. He is one of few people I know who trains in Karate and BJJ. But as you say, it's the exception.<br /><br />Leslie,<br /><br />Yes, it made it much easier. I was glad he didn't get upset (mad or sad!). Some of the stuff I've read on forums about instructors going off their tree when they lose a student makes me so glad I'm dealing with good people here. <br /><br />I understand though that an instructor would be emotional, as he has put his time, hopes and energy into my training. He has invested part of himself and it's an emotional thing. Still, he needs to be mature enough to respect a student's decision and give his blessing.<br /><br />My next BJJ class is at lunchtime, and there will be no more guilt tripping about missing yet another Karate class ;-)fenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422718635385568842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397679792479181257.post-9402322194174565192009-12-02T01:34:05.965+11:002009-12-02T01:34:05.965+11:00I'm glad your karate instructor was understand...I'm glad your karate instructor was understanding and let you move on gracefully.lesliehttp://bjjgrrl.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397679792479181257.post-20807851732288881322009-12-01T18:33:31.632+11:002009-12-01T18:33:31.632+11:00I can't think of many people who train in a TM...I can't think of many people who train in a TMA <i>and</i> BJJ. It seems that eventually, they all want to dedicate any training time they have to BJJ. ;)slideyfoothttp://www.slideyfoot.comnoreply@blogger.com
