Check Yourself

​You’re not entitled to anything. That’s just as true for me as it is for any of my students. There is no amount of money you can pay someone that allows you to be an asshole. If you are a consumer, assume that the people you are buying from are giving it their best. You never know what someone is dealing with. I did many tournaments in the early days of my Jiu Jitsu career without an actual coach, and there are still people that I see all the time whose coaches don’t show up. I think your coach should be at the tournaments you compete in, but if they have a conflict, it doesn’t give you the right to be shitty. The vast majority of people would not survive running a martial arts school, and the work that’s put in doesn’t deserve the treatment it receives. Before you dump on anyone trying to help you, check yourself.
