Nah sorry mate that was neither inspiring or motivational.
I don't think that he should have been graded to that level as he obviously isn't.
It is a sad fact of life that people get hurt, sick and die. By grading this man to this level in my opinion doesn't say much for the system that he is learning. In fact watching the rest of the class it looks like the system isn't worth learning anyway. The intensity that is shown is well below that which is expected in our class and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Sorry if that offends people but life wasn't meant to be fair.

That was awesome. This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea I guess but personally I've found that training with folks that have had some developmental issues can be very rewarding and very educational. I don't think I would have disagreed with the rank they wore.

YouTube is an interesting tool but it doesn't tell the whole story IMO.
