Wow, thank you all for all the different perspectives! It is always good to get other people's opinion in order to clarify what you hold objectively or subjectively in your head. You guys have really reinforced some good values, thanks again!
All in all I'm an 9th degree white belt if you count all the stripes from all 4 schools. Ridiculous sounding I know but that is my point, the color of a person's belt should not be the only yardstick of their experience level
I know I kept my mouth shut when it came to teaching the newbies for the first year.
Now that I'm a brownbelt its expected of me to help "coach" the new guys in randori rather than beat the hell out of them. I'll set up the sub, or pin on the ground if they leave it open just to show them what could happen, but for the most part I let them learn. In standing randori I'll toss them when they leave themselves open for it, but not too hard.
You did the right thing.
and your instructor is a douche
just dont be one of those know it all guys who know the technique but do it wrong
maybe you don't practice what you preach. and also maybe you roll with no heart.
in light of that maybe your instructor doesn't really respect you in that sense and you trying to be a teacher just seems phony to him.
im not saying you are or aren't im just offering a possibility.
No the instructor is not a douche. He's a good guy and a good teacher. A lot of people like training there and have not had any of the problems the threadstarter is talking about.
