Race card? Huh?
From the book:
"This one is a big one. Racism does exist, and it's sad it exists in martial arts. Just be wary that you do not fall into the 'Mr. Miyagi' trap. You need to look objectively what the instructor has done and how he teaches martial arts. Just because he has a certain ethnic background, or trained in a certain country (or claims to) doesn't necessarily mean he's a good teacher."
Right. Because there's no point in figuring out WHY it didn't work and how to make it work... That would require skill. And knowledge. And practice. And hard work...
Yah agreed; the things I'm not good at are the things I practice more, not less. That applies to martial arts and life in general.
