Expect Me When You See Me

I have no problem with people who want to try something different, but after they fucking do the taught technique correctly. I find it disrespectful when someone, especially a newbie, comes in and thinks that they've somehow thought of a better way then the hundreds of year old martial art and the teacher with 20+ years of experience has found. You're not going to come up with something better than them until a much higher level, so relax and learn until you reach a point where you can critically examine what's happening and experiment. As for our art, everything from the beginning is very applicable in the real world so that's hardly applicable.
