I've seen students that were physically talented,but limited by their own arrogance. I've seen students that were not physically adept,but could listen and take direction. I prefer the ones that will listen and have the humility to learn despit their physicality. There are very few people like this out there.


I couldnt agree more. Usually the really good ones, cant listen, wont listen, even when they are wrong. I would much rather work with someone with less talent that is willing to learn.

When it all comes down to it, the "talent" for "sticking with it" ends up being a WHOLE lot more important than a natural aptitude for martial arts.

You bet :)

Oh.. and my "off the top of my head" list kind of forgot about some of your fine students, Kwanjang.

More than a couple immediately with talent that remain active come to mind when remembering your current crop :) ;)
