Wise words! Standards matter

When it comes to promoting someone part of what I look for is not just do they know the material, but are they willing to do the work even when it involves certain aspects of training they don’t particularly like.

Many times, especially as students rise through the ranks towards Blackbelt they can become hyper focused on an area of training that they prefer. A part of it that they love.

While it is great to specialize in an area (let’s say takedowns, or the guard, etc.) it is my job to make sure each student is well rounded in all areas of the art. 

As an example, early in my training I was primarily known for my guard. I almost never used top position.  It wasn’t till late in my purple belt days that one of my coaches (Keith Owen) told me that my guard was excellent but that my mount sucked. And yes, he said it just like that …He assigned me to work on top position and I did that for many years. Focusing on it till now it’s actually my best position. If you only stick to your favorite techniques, you will never grow.

It's easy to do what you want. It's difficult to do the things you don't.…
