>>742256regardless of the politics which beginners/white belts shouldnt be really involved in and rules which is actually an legit conncer for athletes crossing over. A completely fresh beginner on his way to just learning a craft, should sit back and enjoy the technique and art that all the styles provide.
Some good teaching is better the no teaching or even bad teaching from crap trainers.
So who really cares if the politcs of certain styles is bad. hell all federations, and styles have politics its human nature and something that higher ranks, refs, coaches, teachers have to deal with. But as artist we focus on the technique and skill sets.
