Good point this is the martial arts sub section - it was me who mentioned army as I thought it was funny. Krav Maga seminar, practical, the instructor included everyone (there were some very proficient martial artists and the rest new starts). Questions were welcomed and discussions that came out of these, the in structor was not unable to say 'I did not know that', real strength there.

3. Fudokan karate.
*I learned that I've still "Got It" and that I am capable of so much more, even in my late 40's. (Dr. Stan Holodkov)

i do have to agree with mcfifi about the embassing part where they feel you have to stand up and introduce yourself infront of a bunch of strangers

Every single course I've been on has irritated the living p*ss out of me. I now refuse to go on any.
Do they still do that thing at the start of every course where you have to pick a partner, find out about them, then introduce them to everyone else?
That used to drive me close to murder.
