The problem begins when that ego starts to interfere with his teaching or your learning. The same could be said about a student with an ego. Mine is enormous, but keeping it in check is essential. The thing I find most unpleasant is the big talking kind of people who go on and on about themselves. I was looking at a private shooting range over the weekend I was thinking of joining and there was a member who went on and on about his black belts and 20 years with the LAPD, etc. He could tell I wasn't impressed with him although I wasn't saying anything to him or being rude in any way. So he kept on and on focusing more and more on me. I finally just excused myself and left before the membership portion of the meeting started. I don't need that crap. If your instructor can "walk his talk" then I would work with it. - Anthony It seems like the more advanced the class and the more highly experienced instructors handle there ego much more professionally than the blow hards.

Just learn from them. Yep. Let's face it, folks, martial artists by and large, are not 'normal'. Everybody has idiosyncracies, and if you are a person who likes having other people swing sticks at your head, you're bound to have more than your fair share. Every single instructor I've had, every single one, has been a loon in one way or another. I'm sure my students feel the same way about me.

Thanks for the honesty Anthony... I try to appeal to a healthy level of confidence vs. ego and "ego" is in my opinion a distasteful presentation of "thy self" ha... exactly because of what you described and because most of what I have seen ego involved in included ignorance in people also getting hurt. Verbal or Physical. Not a road I want my students to necc. head down one I would rather not because I have seen what you have described and its sooooo un attractive. One of my instructors says "just fact no brag" and when he says it, it packs a punch because of what he's done. I like that. I like your attitude too. I wonder if any instructors reading this will be willing to "check it." ;-) Heather MonDee denverama.com In my experience, most of the top drawer martial art and shooting instructors I have had tend to have an ego, and there is nothing wrong with having one.

Mark Twain's opinion started from the "Mark Twain wrote:" part and ended to the very last paragraph above my sign off. The man was a member of the Anti-Imperialist League and called America an imperialist for its actions on the Philippine issue.

Which American Soldier, who fought side by side with Filipino Against japanese, later he feel in love to local Princess and married her, It turn out to be the King of the Tribes. But the American find him in the Island and captured him and charge him, for turning his back to the American flag. He was captured with one Japanese that he was fighting but later become his friend too. Ans also that Japanese become allied by the Philippines. It was a good movies and reminds me of the other American Soldier that turn Filipino by choice.
