the same martial arts moves over and over again. What should I do? Should I quit him or not? What is the use in even showing up if he is not going to show up? Whats your advice?|||If you paid for this class, you need to try and get your money back and stop going. A real Judo instructor would take this much more seriously than your instructor is!|||i would consider this a mcdojo. quit. if you cant get ur money back then simply tell him u want to learn something new and then quit after ur payment is done. also tell them tehy are very unproffesional.|||Leave the school, find a more professional teacher. He isnt delivering both in the business end (hes not showing up) and even if he does he teaches the same thing! I suggest looking around town for a better school. Go for jiu jitsu, it can really help your body out!|||I betting the instructor is relatively young and irresponsible.
If he doesn%26#039;t take the class seriously how can you? I think he is wasting both of your time. I taught for 20 years and NEVER missed a class.
FInd another Dojo with an instructor who is dedicated and that you can actually learn something from.
If you like Judo you might look into Ju-Jitsu or Aikido as well.
Good Luck|||Find another school. My wife and kids take tae kwon do and I would never stand for that kind of behavior.|||In order for you to progress you need to have the same key moves programmed into you, unfortunately this can be monotonous but it also promotes discipline...shame he seems lacking this himself, confront him and ask for a refund for the classes he has missed and find out how committed he is to actually teaching you, if he does not give you a good enough answer then seek training elsewhere.|||I can understand showing certain basic moves over and over again. This is something we do in my Tae Kwon Do class. It%26#039;s meant to make these moves become automatic.
However, if the instructor hardly ever shows up to teach, you should definitely look into another school. Don%26#039;t waste your money.|||You would certainly be within you rights to ask for a refund.
Tell him why.
You signed up for classes and made arrangements to be at a certain place at a certain time. If he cannot abide by his own rules then ask for a refund and take your business elsewhere.|||Wow...I%26#039;m sorry to hear you are having such a bad experience. It%26#039;s hard to glean from your description whether anyone shows up to teach when the instructor you signed up with does not i.e. a junior instructor but not the person you expected to receive instruction from.
The student / instructor relationship is a two way street and the agreement is basically the student agrees to show up, practice, and communicate honestly, and the instructor agrees to show up, teach, and communicate honestly. Sounds as though your instructor is failing in this basic premise.
If he has a junior instructor teaching, this may be the way his classes are structured and that is something you should discuss with him. If no-one at all shows up for the class, then you should express your disappointment and request a reduction in tuition or a refund. If no-one shows up and they don%26#039;t try to notify you of the cancellation, then they are not meeting the most basic business standards of courtesy never mind the higher moral and ethical standard you should be able to expect of a martial arts instructor.
All in all, the decision must ultimately be yours. If you feel the instructor is acting irresponsibly, unethically, and unprofessionally, then leave and seek out a new instructor. If you really like the instructor, then talk with him and express your concerns and irritations to him and give him a chance to explain his position. Make your decision after that discussion.
Respect, dedication, committment, and courtsy flow both ways, from instructor to student, and from student to instructor. When one fails in this area a considerable strain is put on the student / instructor relationship and it will often hamper progress and trust.
Good luck with what is undoubtedly an unfortunate situation.

But if your not I%26#039;d find a new class. You%26#039;ll be able to take your license and belt and just re grade so your up to the new class standard and then you will be able to grade for higher belts!|||If he%26#039;s only an instructor, go and talk to the head or owner of the school and explain what is going on.
