    Bad seminar experience

    Has any one else had a shit experience at a seminar ?

    I just did a seminar on Saturday with a certain "legend" of the sport
    And no it wasn't Renato
    The guy rocked up 20 minutes late was rude to the students
    belittled white belts especially the 13 yeah old who is 3 classes in who idolises him (who doesn't )
    spoke Portuguese and saying we might understand it better if he spoke in Portuguese
    and spent more time talking to his wife then the actual class
    and then left a hour early with a nice pay check (20 x $150)

    ive done some seminars in my time (rigan , johnwill ,drysdale, mendes bro's )

    just wondering how do you get over the bad taste left in your mouth if you have ever come across a shitty experience

    Schedule a private lesson with an instructor you know is going to get you some awesome info. Takes the bad taste right out.

    anyway you can Private message me who this was, because if it's who I am thinking my buddy said he had a similar experience.

    Can't say I've had that experience, is there a way u can speak to the school head who scheduled him and voice ur thoughts? There may be some backstory as to why the guest instructor behaved that way, maybe he doesn't know he's rubbed people the wrong way....

    You know really you paid money for a product that you aren't satisfied with, and we all stand at risk of purchasing the same product, so you really shouldn't hesitate to either tell us here or tell us in the 10P facebook group. Before one of us gets ripped off too.
