I don't think you hate people. I think that perhaps you got off on the wrong foot soon after joining and did a bit to keep digging yourself deeper. But that can be, and should be turned around and you have the opportunity to be a productive member of the community. I'd extend my hand out to you in that regard.
In regards to kata, I once thought they were a complete waste of time, effort and energy. But I didn't truly understand them. That changed. Now you have to understand, I started training in 1975. Since 1985 I've been in one uniform or another and, unfortunately, have had to put my hands on people more times than I care to remember. Real world training is a BIG need for me. My life or the life of a partner depends on it. So, having said that, do you think I'd waste my time on something that wouldn't fulfill my primary needs? Just a thought to toss out for consideration.
thanks for the olive branch.
i certainly have wasted my time on training something that would not fulfill my primary needs.
Or to put that better. I employed a method that got the job done. But through observation and experience. Am employing a better method now.
Now we can have a tactical vs technical debate. But the technique looks sound. Showing me the core of the training is sound.
from sound training and good basics. Then i can come up with solutions to fight on stairs or in the dark.
