That`s for sure. I don`t do Tai Chi, but one of the best teachers I ever had was a demanding, critical old bastard. Nothing I ever did was good enough, until one day after I`d been with him a few years I overheard him critiquing another student and he said "What`s wrong with you? It`s not that hard. Whatch the way Dave does it, he knows what he`s doing." All I could do was smile. I was so happy I was speechless. Then he looked at me and said "Don`t get cocky,you`re still too slow."
I miss that old SOB, but only sometimes.
The first time my Taiji sifu told me my form was good I was shocked. After years of correction and telling me to go deeper or do this different I was finally good at something. And then I began to worry...but it was all good, he started telling me some of the other forms needed work and I felt better
My Sanda sifu was not one to give out any complements at all. He would tell me to practice a certain type of kick, I would practicve it for a week and every time I went to show him he always said...need more practice... or...not so good. Heck I bounced once in Tuishou and he said you should have done that sooner.
