I absolutely understand why certain people want to become Grandmasters in this world. If you are a grandmaster, please do not feel bad about my analysis.
I also do not try to imply anything. It is just my point of view. Here it goes
There are 2 main reasons or "motivation"
1-SUPREMECY AUTHORITY
some people are very happy when you call them "MASTER" or "GRANDMASTER" because they feel that they are above everybody and have authority over you.
Some folks say that you respect them by telling them MASTER or GRANDMASTER. Come on NOW??? IT IS NOT truth
I'm sure most of you here RESPECT your parents but you DON'T CALL THEM MASTER OR Grandmaster, do you ?
calling MASTER is OK but calling GRANDMASTER is not OK why?
if you look at "MASTER", you see "Mr."....see my point ????
if you look at "GRANDMASTER", you don't see anything. You only see GRANDMASTER
I personally feel it is WRONG to ask somebody to tell you MASTER or GRANDMASTER. Why?
a- We live in an equal society and that means we don't own anybody. If you look back to the history, a slave calls MASTER. I'm not a slave, why do i have to call them MASTER or Grandmaster?
Professor or instructor is good enough. No need to go further than this
b- I may not be the same age as you BUT it is not my FAULT.
c-About experiences??? so you have 10,20,30 years in martial art??? i'm impressed.
Be honest NOW, your 10,20,30,40,100 years of experiences only demonstrate in the street less than 2 minutes. Otherwise, you are GONE.
2-MONEY
whenever you go to a seminar or to martial art event, you see any First or second degree black invited to show you MOVE ????
you only see MASTER and Grandmaster and i'm sure that it costs more to bring these folks to demonstrate. Sure, one may argue that there is nothing FREE or you have to compensate for their time.
That's a good point. I have seen people have to pay for these "SPECIAL" folks a lot of MONEY.
it doesn't matter where you look at it. There are many FEES involve. Some of them are NONE refundable and NOT cheap
1-FEES to bring THEM out of the house
2-FEES for HOTEL, TRANSPORTATION, FOOD. I'm sure you don't want to put your MASTER or GRANDMASTER into a cheap MOTEL, do you?
you certainly don't want to tell these folks to take BUS to go to your place from airport.
how about inviting these folks to MCDonal for a happy meal ???? You are a nice person, you don't want to do above things
YOu see BIG fees for them doing NOTHING???
3- FEES for demonstration and EXPERIENCE at your places.
4-FEES for association
5-FEES for testing and getting certificates.
I'm sure you will cover all these fees before bring them to your place.
no offense anybody. It is just my point. Now, i have to get back to my computer thesis.
Have a great weekend, everybody
