I didn't want to leave but after that I had to accept that that school just didn't have what I needed in order to progress. You can't improve without people to train with. The gym I go to know has a lot of people that I can work with (many of whom are a lot better than myself) so it's a much better environment for me.

That's a silly excuse, we have only 50 min. classes, sometimes we have non sparring students and we still can, depending on what we are working on most get a few rounds in. Lower ranks can work on forms etc while the others spar...and 3 or 4, that's enough for three rounds!
Hey, when the schools priorities no longer match with yours, it's time to move on.
