Senior Master
Obviously having served I have a healthy respect for the commitment aspect of your friends choice to serve.Kaith Rustaz said:I have a friend on his way to Iraq right now. One of the reasons why he joined was that his goal is to be a martial arts instructor as a career. He asked me, "How can I teach if I don't actually know if it works?"
.
I do disagree with the "how do I know if it will work logic" though because in actuallity (because the "it" that he/she will be applying will NOT be the same "it" that they will use in a martial arts career or self defense situation)
the more important question that will be answered is "how do I know if I will make it work?"
or
"How do I deal with myself when I am faced with my own inadequacies under stress?"
I really hope that everything goes well and that you get a chance to talk out the war stories after the fact in any case.
