How big was this school? I just can't see this happening even at the biggest school I've been part of. The head instructor and assistant would crush someone who stole from thier teammates. Not paying, well if something can not be worked out **** happens, bullying ( again, you would get to roll with an instructor, then if you could walk you might get a second chance, might). This kind of stuff was just never dreamed of, such was the gym culture. Even in the smaller private place, this isn't even thought of. Perhaps it comes down to the Head Instuctor and the tone he sets.
Right. I am talking about the people who got kicked out -- not talking about those who stayed and progressed. These behaviors were simply not tolerated.
