The other side of the story

[colynsmommy]

Okay, so I thought it was pretty unfair of me to post my side of the Mike saga the other day, without also posting his, or rather, his girlfriend's story as well. You be the judge! And Mike, if you're reading this, please stop calling me! You've asked me to stop contacting, and I have enough respect for you to do what you've asked of me. I'd

What a wack job

[darkangel1074]

That's a bit confusing, to say the least. If you ask me, they're not worth your time. If he's really a black belt as he clames to be, he's not acting like it. With all his bitterness and anger, I wouldn't want him teaching my kids, or anybody else I know karate. I've read all you've written, and the entry she's written, and my take on it is that you should just count your blessings, and thank goodness you don't have to deal with them. I think you'd definitely be uncomfortable taking karate from that crazy man again, because you'd never know when he'd take his bitterness or anger out on you. Every time he'd feel a bit pissed off about something, you'd be the whipping boy, or girl, in your case. That wouldn't be fair to you, and it wouldn't be a healthy environment for you to develop your karate skills, or grow mentally, or spiritually. Just know that you've done the right thing apologizing to him. You're conscience should be clear, and you can finally put the past where it belongs. Let them self-destruct on their own. It sounds like they're doing a good enough job without you even involved, and you don't need to go down with them.

Thank you for saying that. It's nice to be told you're not crazy, when in situations like this one. It's really ashame Mike can't except my apology in the spirit that I meant it to be taken in. A true and honourable black belt would have just excepted it and then moved on. None of this calling me asking for different people for whatever reason. No, I'm glad I'm not affiliated with them anymore. Mike instilled in me my deep love for karate, and I'll thank him and sensei Legacy and everybody who taught me ten years ago. I wish them all the best in the future, and I hope Mike some day becomes the man and black belt he thinks he is now, but isn't. Any true black belt would have seen I was sincere, and wouldn't harbour such ill feelings after ten long years.
