Honestly this is just a bitch session. I have two gyms, one of them no one on this forum would know, so I feel safe griping (it’s a different martial art). The most advanced current student is throwing herself at the instructor, madly, irritatingly, obsessively. (Both married). I have no idea what is happening between them, likely nothing, but he’s just given her a huge amount of responsibility to run the school while he is away this week. I’m going full time to my other gym & training myself instead. This is not out of moral outrage; I’m no angel. It’s because in the course of sucking up his attention she routinely, compulsively throws other people under the bus which he seems to find appealing & funny. She’s also an impatient & selfish partner with zero teaching skills. I have so much respect for this instructor, but I’m losing it now. Men, can you not see this typically female behavior? Is this a real blind spot? For myself, I’ll just train til I’m as good as her then make her pay #motivation lol.

One guess is he likes it. It makes him feel good. (Her throwing herself at him) I find myself turned off and disgusted by her always throwing people under the bus and him being amused. Yuck. If you feel good about yourself you don’t need to do that. Plus martial arts is supposed to be focused on respect but ... I like your attitude about just training harder!

It really is! I was kinda kicking around the idea that MAYBE it would work out to find him for a lesson or two when me and my wife finally go to Thailand for vacation. And now suddenly: BAM! Namsaknoi in Germay! Basically in my neighborhood! How about that?
