Flatlander
Grandmaster
In my discussions and research it has come to light that it is not an uncommon occurance that instructors, "masters", whatever they need to be called practice this abhorrence to freedom and self discovery. My understanding is that there are people out there who will refuse the furtherance of training to a student who has sought either additional or supplementary training outside of their "home" systems or dojos.
For example. "Dick" trains under "Master X". "Dick" decides that he would like to supplement the style he is learning, and checks out the program at "dojo Y". "Master X" learns of "Dick's" explorations and tells him he is no loger welcome at "dojo X". Has anyone else ever heard of this practice? If you have a story to tell, please share it with us. The public has a right to know.
