One thing I learned from him among the plethora of others is that it would be nice to offer classes for free, but psychologically, most people don't respect "free" things. Similar to the idea of "No Pain, No Gain" most people see free things as cheap and useless, so you could say "No Cost, No Sacrifice" meaning that if they aren't giving up something then they don't feel obligated to give anything to what they learn. The master instructor I learned the greatest from taught me for free and allowed me to train in his dojo for free, he even gave me a key, I valued the whole thing and because of his generosity I was able to train like I wanted and became better than I had ever imagined. I would like to teach for free too, but unfortunately I am stuck.

I live in Los Angeles now, and yes I still teach for free. Though lately I've been busy with research for the book and web development training. A couple people have asked for lessons so at some point soon I'll probably start up again. Thanks for the comment! @Kareem Abdul Andall

Hi Kareem. I live in Los Angeles now, and yes I still teach for free. Though lately I’ve been busy with research for the book and web development training. A couple people have asked for lessons so at some point soon I’ll probably start up again. Thanks for the comment!
