Boojie blues
A bit about training stuff.
Before I go into some whining: I really enjoy the trainings in RI's dojo. There is one thing only that I miss - the rough play. Sometimes I like it really rough ;-) But lately I started playing with B. this hard way and the good thing is that she also enjoys it :-) lucky me :-)
I. can always show something new and we learn all the kata systematically, on a much better organized way than how I learned it before. In the same time I have a lot of freedom exploring each one and see how and why exactly that particular kata works that way. I have to use my brain. This is something I needed very much. No guys, not brain, I have that by default :-P but the fact that I have to use it :-) Anyway.
I am going to attend Thomas F's seminar in Brussels in two weeks. I go with K., the Iranian guy from Kutaki, and also Cs. will accompany me. He wants to meet Jan The Giant and also to see Brussels.
This is the good stuff. And now comes the whining.
I am so very much fed up with the political bullshiting in Hungary, it's really so tiring. You just can not get away from it, it finds you anywhere. There are two major "parties" who don't talk to each other, and I've been trying to build a bridge between them in the pas few years. But it seems that they are not mature enough for this yet. They always destroy the bridge and almost make me fall too.
It was the same this week. So Yesterday I said it was enough. It was the last time that I tried to make peace. No matter how high level instructors they are, they are simply not mature enough to make peace and work together. Instead they just keep bringing up the past and have a bath in their own hurt feelings. Then they run to their kindergarten teachers and complain about the other.
And when you talk to them, if you don't talk bad about the opposite party, they treat you as an enemy. It is really so immature and childish. But come on, these are adult men over the age of 30! Men... if the whole thing would depend on you, probably humanity would have died out by now, you make so many wars simply out of pride.
Anyway. I will still help anyone who asks me for any help, but won't "offer" my help anymore. It is not worth the nerves.
Strange, since I got my new rank I was approached from the most various directions with the request of teaching people. Hmm... on one hand it fawns on me, but on the other hand I can not take it seriously. Before having this rank no one on earth asked me to teach - okay, except for women. I got several requests from other female buyu to teach them because -as they told me- they learned more when they were training with me. But no one else wanted me to teach anything. And now, all of a sudden, in the past 6 months I got a lot of requests from different individuals (buyu and to-be-buyu) to help them and was approached from 3 different sources to teach regularly in a dojo/club. It makes me smile but really :) People often judge only by the shell, before examining closely and deeply whom they are learning from.
