Your group is very talented, too, so I know it's not distracting you!<BR/><BR/>TKDRocker, that issue about how to socialize with your teachers is a good one to bring up. I face it from both sides (we sometimes have students from the college to our house . . .)<BR/><BR/>Master Hughes likes being addressed that way outside of class, too. We don't bow, but we don't call him "Greg." But he's such a friendly and generous and fun person, that it's not too hard to get beyond the teacher/student relationship. <BR/><BR/>I'd be curious to know what kinds of social events you try. <BR/><BR/>Also: we live in a middle-sized city, so it's easy for everyone to get whereever we decide to socialize. And people don't spend huge amounts of time commuting, so they're more willing to do extra fun stuff with us. Plus, we're fun people!taekwondomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020911165504281841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9923264.post-9089278666086731832007-03-04T22:06:00.000-06:002007-03-04T22:06:00.000-06:00Our club (The Iowa State University one) goes out ...Our club (The Iowa State University one) goes out for Pizza on Friday nights after practice. We also have parties, bbq's, movie nights etc. Probably because its almost alll college aged kids we go out and do things alot. The club I teach at also does some social activities-A few bbqs a year, but since its mostly kids/familys that comprise of that club we dont' go out as much.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271881151298032561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9923264.post-57047649767300450702007-03-04T19:18:00.000-06:002007-03-04T19:18:00.000-06:00I'm curious - How do the students interact with th...I'm curious - How do the students interact with the head instructors on the extracurricular activities outside of the dojang? Are you expected to use the same courtesies as you would in class (bowing, "yes sir/ma'am", etc.)? Our school doesn't do much together outside of class (although I'm thinking of brnging up the idea), but if I (or any student) sees a head instructor outside of class, we're expected to bow (not excessively - just to show that we acknowledge them) and call them sir/ma'am. Just wondering how that kind of stuff is at your dojang.TKD Rockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465935584038596468noreply@blogger.com
