As for paying for classes and yet being forced to just teach and never learn (if that's what you're doing), then that is a raw deal. Black belts do a lot of assistant instructing. It's part of your training to learn how to lead a class. But, that should not be the only thing you're doing. You need to keep making progress yourself. It's give and take. When it's just take, you need to re-negotiate with the instructor. Sit down in private and talk about it with her.
Oct 30, 2014 at 1:56 comment added coltonon I'm 16, and just got my 1st dan. I think this new instructor is here to stay. She is the only other black belt who regularly go there, so running a class of 15 students with one black belt is hard. Either way, i still pay a monthly fee, even though i haven't learned any of my material for 2nd dan yet. I dont care about money, but it doesnt feel right that im the one who basically runs the show, and am still paying the same amount ive always paid.
