I was ask what is worst a student with a bad attitude or a student with bad techniques and which one would you rather train yourself.
Terry
Terry
agreed one hundred percentEverything starts with attitude.
Zepp said:Terry, is this a trick question? If someone has a bad attitude, why bother training them at all?
If someone want to improve their technique, no matter how bad it is, they're still easier to work with than someone who's going to work against you.
FearlessFreep said:Terry made the point that he took someone with a bad attitude and they developed a good attitude. Is it possible to do that with any sort of reliability? Turning bad attitude to good like you would turn bad technique to good? Sounds a *lot* harder, especially for people who are mostly martial artists by training and only secondarily teachers; it's easier to train technique then attitude, but can it be done?
Sam said:so, for argument's sake, can anyone argue for the poor attitude/good technique as being preferable?
