I have been very fortunate with my martial arts instructors to always have good ones.

However, back in junior high I had a language arts teacher who just could not understand that I had no idea what most of what she was teaching about grammer was. I could pull of really good grades on a mulitiple choice test because I read a lot and always picked what sounded better. But come time to diagram a sentence or explain why it was better I was way lost. I was two more years before I had an english teacher who taught me the basic parts of speech.

Yes,

When I was 18(I'm 31 now and in a different part of the US.) I was taking Go shin gitsu(SP?) Karate. My instructor tried to do some unspeakable things to me one night after class. Everyone left and our Sensei didn't realize my brother(10 at the time was there with me) I didn't have my car it was in the shop and we were waiting to be picked up by our dad. He threatened to hurt my brother just as our dad pulled up to pick us up. I told my dad he tried to "Put the moves on me in a forceful way" and my dad called the police. We didn't go back after that!

I've learned MORE from the bad instructors of my life than the good ones. They teach you succinctly, everything you do not want to be and you work so much harder to avoid it, having had it pointed out to you...
