A few months ago I wrote a thread about not getting my solid Black Belt in TKD from a crooked instructor.
Well at my church a family owns a struggling TKD school, one of which i trained at while i was younger for about a month.
After talking to each other we came to a deal - I teach and assist their classes since my belt is technically a blackbelt, and they'll straighten out my paper work and get my proper black belt and all of that.
but get this - i havent done any forms or testing training in nearly 8 years: so forms are pretty much out the window, but since i've been fighting since then my sparring / self defence is top of the line.
well in the last few months all i've been doing is helping out, with no real training or even a direction on what i need to do to get my belt. i've taken my time and helped them put together a haunted house in the studio, i've ran arrands and promoted flyers and every little detail that i could have upheld for them.
on my end i have no received the best direction, nor have i gotten any straight answer on what i need to do. so they set a test date and tried to test me on all my forms and all that..unfortunitely i had next to no training on this subject so it came off sloppy. secondly during the 'test' it was suggested that they wont finish it, because they want the younger belts to watch me break bricks and boards to keep them interested as students.
basically everything i am doing is to benifit them one way or another. they even told me that they'll let me run my own ground fighting class, which has yet to happen. i confronted them last night and wanted a solid answer on what i need to study on/concentrate on but again the answer keeps changing and the focus is on something else. now they want a written 4 page report printed and turned in soon.
so now im like to hell with this. i have another team of fighters in the area that want me to join them and cage fight / train to cage fight. it's faster, easier and has less mind games.
i realize this school is struggling and needs all the help it can get, but stringing me along for months sucks. they have the feeling something is up so they are all over me every where i go..what would you do? would you stay or go?
