Weapons class

Their seems to be two systems in the weapons class; the escrima, and the okinawan Kubudo. One thing my teacher told me is I would have to choose what I teach. I've thinking perhaps it would be better to teach straight kubudo then escrima. Not that I don't like escrima, I do.

Another thing I've been told is not to be a jack-of-all trades. One thing is if one studies more forms from the same system, then are kind of similiar in regards to philosophy. Where as if one studies forms from the same system, they tend to reinforce themselves. Whereas learning different weapons from different systems may not. One could for example, study the Japanese katana, the chinese rope spear, the okinawin whip rope, the philipines sticks, but that's alot of stuff to remember in and it's easy to mix them up.

Perhaps, it would be better to teach the Ni-Chon Tan-Bo then the escrima sticks. They are an Okinawan weapon so it would be the same system. But that's just my opinion.

I was watching Jet Li's fearless. One thing is in the movie he took on students whoever asked. His students almost backrupted him. Then they got him in a fight with another teacher, whom he killed. Later it was found out the guy was sleeping with the other school's teacher's mistress.

People would say this is a business. However, as sun-tzu said "it is foolish to let fate decide your troops." One thing is in martial arts school your students are the people who will get you more students, buy stuff, and help out with things.

One thing I have been thinking about is when you work one on one then your time just benifets one person. However, when you work with five people then your time helps five people at once. When a master gives a seminar, if there is a hundred people, then he gives a little knowledge to each person.
