Hey...about 6 week I back to kung fu training after several years doing others MA ( I made some post about that ) . The people of the dojo ( kwoon) is not the same people. Just 2 persons from the old time.
When I returned...I have my old rank...and many people look me badly , and Kinda competitive.
I was told by one of my friends that the tuesdays before class , some intermediate/advanced guys meet in another floor of the gym to do some sparring and semi hard combat. Today I was late , and they were fightin磚pstairs. I talked to a guy , and asked if I could come next tuesday before class , he and other guys said yes...but kinda forced.....
Of course next week I 磍l meet em . I think that the sparring , will be not sparring , but is OK . People behaves like territorial apes...and the only way to get respect...sometimes is showing that you are though.
What do you think ?

It sounds like a rivalry in the making. Be careful approaching this scenario. Make sure to keep your hands up!

This is a common scenario where old student re-enter the dojo. If you do go into this scenario, the chances are that once you are up there with them, they will be fine and train with you as they would anyone else.

Unfotunately, as others said, it could be an opportunity to test you. If you are not okay with this, don't go. If you are, then just be sure that you do not go in too hard if they are not trying to test you or if they are trying to test you, make sure you make your point. If you go in half hearted and they try to test you, you will end up in a worse-respected position than you are now. As the guys said, wear a cup, keep your hands up and give it everything you've got.

Good luck and keep us posted.
