a lot of kids don't have discipline these days. when i ran the kung fu school 99% of the parents brought their kids in for discipline. and more then half of them couldn't take it. I am hard on the kids but I am not unreasonable. some kids don't like being told what to do or listen and their parents back them up. those were the most frustrating cases. some kids were so bad i had to tell the parents they needed to get them some other kind of help. some kids just misbehaved for attention.

i had this one kid who would not listen period. he would do a drill then raise his hand, ask questions then run around. thank god for assistants. lost a couple students cause the parents were like "you aren't paying enough attention to my kid and -insert name- is a distraction". so finally one day i got sick and tired of battling this kid i stuck him in the corner in a horse stance. kid cried (made me feel kinda good i finally broke him) but the parents were like oh you didn't do anything wrong! i was like what? the kid doesn't listen, follow instructions and i finally broke him and you are going to pamper him?
