I posted my comments on this thread not because of this thread entirely but a cumaltion of posts that I have read. In theSchool that I originaly trained TKD we sparred every night and took our beatings as we should I have not found another school that matched it. Thai Bri I realize that the hands are the great equalizers and I am not going to try to do a jump 360 heel kick on street thug I probably wouldn't kick at all. Are you going to do a little Muay Thai danse before he attacks ,no! THe fact is that during that time there were a lot of good students in the school and you are only as good as the people that you train with( to a certain extent) You can be a king among peons at many schools. I have seen a terrible apathy that has develolped some schools. And that is why I am frustrated the lack of decent instructors and people to train with. I am not a school owner but an exceptional student. I do not have the luxery to train in the mornings with those who what to be professionals or school owners. All I want is a good sparring match 2 or 3 times a week and flexible schedule because there is other things more important than all of this BS.
