Fuming! Crying! Outraged! My instructor just informed us last night that next week at the time of the grappling class (after our regular class) he will be evaluating little Danny to see how close he is to taking his black belt test. So, little Danny is more important than the rest of us. Swell! There are only about four people in that class, but still......!What does Danny ever do? Oh yes, I remember. He goofs off, lets go of the stick and now I   have to use the boring foam sticks in class instead of the cool ones I ordered. Him and "Mr. Hodo", who I see violated the dress code again last night, but I guess that's ok. And Danny's father.....in our old location, he would sit in his chair week after while everyone else stacked up all the chairs around him. He would sit there and watch me make trip after trip lugging mats and other equipment. Even when we had to use the basement. I'm only 5'2" and the mats are at least three foot square. Why can't he arrange for a private lesson on his own time and pay for it too while he's at it, like the rest of us!! I love my instructor but he is always rewarding the wrong people. Not that I could live with myself if I displaced other people. I would NEVER do that. We even told him that if no one shows up for that class, we could use that time as a private lesson and pay him. We even said that if there were only a couple of  people, we would pay extra instead of  not having class. Oh would I love to have it out with Danny's dad!!!! You people will just have to go home because my son is more important than you. Go ahead, lose the good people who come all the time and work.
