I've been attending the same Dojo for years and enjoy the high quality training it provides. However; there are several adult students that feel it's appropriate to bring their kids(ages 1-8) to class. It's not a kids class, thus they don't participate. They run around, slam equipment on the mats and are overall a major distraction. I was doing a pad work drill with one of the instructors the other day, and the child just walks over and stands between me and the pad. I look over at the Mother who's a fellow student waiting for her to interject, but she just apathetically stares back at me. I eventually had the tell the child to move. It breaks your concentration and throws your training off. The head instructor/owner usually isn't there when they bring their kids. Thus I was going to inform him of how distracting they are. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
