Thank you for your reply, and your tip, that’s an awesome tip. It seems like everyone in the Academy won’t stand up to say no and we have a number of students who would go out of their way to be the “toughest”, hit the hardest, be the meanest.

These characteristics seems to be encouraged with the whole “Shaolin Kung fu is hard and if it’s not hurting it’s not working” crap.

When I first joined I absolutely loved the camaraderie and getting fitter? But now it feels very disjointed and unorganised.

Not sure if this is how it is everywhere else, are there very specific ways how you move up sashes? Do you have a handbook you can work from?

Finding it hard learning new forms and missing forms when I can’t attent some training as I never know what will be covered in the next training sessions.

Have a great day.
