Never Too Good

​You’re never too good for a basic class, an introductory class, or a fundamentals class. Whatever you call it, no matter what skill level you are, a basic class benefits everyone. I know this is true in grappling, because even after I got my black belt and moved across the country for a job teaching Jiu Jitsu, when I went to Bronx Martial Arts Academy, I still attended the basic/beginner class by choice. Igor who taught the class was still a brown belt then and it was great, I sharpened a bunch of stuff I still use. If you weren’t already aware, I have a two-dimensional art degree. When I was in school we had people who were already established artists in the community come in to take foundational courses. If people who are above your level still seek basic information and are making attempts to bolster their core skills that might be a clue as to what you need as well. I can’t say for certain, but I think this translates to nearly all aspects of life. You are never to good for the basics.
