Hey,
I say, I'm kinda glad to live in Germany, where good Senseis are teaching just because they choose to teach, without opting to secure a living out of it. There's lots of nitwits around for sure, but I guess there won't be less of them in commercial dojos.
Me, I'm shodan Wado, Kyu grade german Jiu Jitsu and mostly hitting the heavy bag in the boxing club nowadays.
Since I learned I am an Aspie, I understood why I never got into major scrapes. I just don't care for the stakes. The one time I had to stand up for something was no problem at all, so I guess I shouldn't worry about technical perfection (I'm clumsy to start with, anyway) and just do what suits me. Boxing training (not sparring) is a very good way of getting the physical exhaustion that keeps me from drinking too much and it builds a nice body , too (you never know when it might be useful).
Glad to be with you.
