Do any school owners have a good working relationship with other styles/schools in your town/area? If so, what does it entail?
I am taking over my branch school in a couple of weeks (my sahbumnim is retiring), and we haven't had any interaction with other schools in our area in years. Mainly because our instructor says that our school is a harder style than any of the others around here right now.
That being said, I would like to develop a good report with the local traditional schools in the area. The advice against it from my instructor comes from our Kwan Jang Nim: "If you train with others too much, you end up teaching them." If the caliber of the other schools are below the standard of our school, then I could see how this could be true. But the only way to find out is to develop a relationship with them first.
Just curious if any school owners work with or have a professional relationship with other schools in their area, and to what affect it is.
