Wow the instructor really did that? He didn't say come to support the team? Most of my school goes to belt promotions to support the people getting promoted. Maybe you misinterpreted? If not your instructor sounds like the opposite of what an instructor should sound like.It depends on the instructor. I've been training for years. I've seen this budddy of mine who deserve a belt upgrade get passed over due to some petty gym politics. I've seen dudes get their belt for the same reason. I try not to care about it so much anymore but sometimes when you see your friend continue to be over looked it gets frustrating. I'm not talking about just getting passed over once or twice. I'm talking about the head instructor calling someone specifically to tell them to be at the gym on a certain day for promotion day. The guy shows up and everyone else gets a promotion except him.
I know everyone is going to think "my friend" is me. I'm not sure I'm ready for a promotion yet. I don't even feel close to being ready for the next upgrade.
I don't know why martial arts can be so petty. Anyway I try not to care about promotions anymore. I'll take it when it's my time or I'll never take it.
He isn't my instructor anymore. Anyway, he didn't call everyone to come support the team. He called him specifically and told him to make sure and be there for promotion day. It's one thing to tell everyone to come and support your team. It's another to say you need to be there.Wow the instructor really did that? He didn't say come to support the team?

C'mon man, name and shame him!He isn't my instructor anymore. Anyway, he didn't call everyone to come support the team.

Nope. He is a good instructor and it was a personal thing that was dragged to the mats. It did irk me though.C'mon man, name and shame him!
... provided you are getting enough rest to recover. Otherwise this may really slow down the process.If you can really do 5 days a week consistently..you will make pretty rapid progression.
