His Majesty the Teacher
Sooner or later, a person engaged in self-development faces a number of questions to which he can no longer find the answer on his own. Can we say that he is undergoing personal growth - yes! But the answers to important questions do not appear by themselves. And here his majesty the Teacher comes to the rescue. A teacher in martial arts is a highly respected person who has come as close to perfection as possible compared to a student. The student's task is to listen to the Teacher as carefully as possible, to repeat all the movements after the Teacher as diligently as possible, and only in this way can one advance in the study of martial horting, and therefore ultimately in achieving the goal that a person sets for himself when he begins to engage in this martial art.
The internal spiritual qualities of the Teacher have always been in the first place for a good student, faith in himself and his cause has been so strong that he remains faithful to his Teacher and his path. Every student can be asked - who is his Teacher? Instead of quickly answering and telling, a bad student will start to mumble, say something vague, name some names, but with all this he will never name the name of his real coach. If those present know who his Teacher is, then by asking this not a random question, they hope to hear the true answer. For every coach, this is an unpleasant moment, after which the coach will never accept the proposals of such a person, and over time will simply stop communicating closely and openly. This is not the result of the activity of the coach's consciousness, it is the position of his heart and his human soul. The teacher-student, father-son relationship clearly shows the true face of a person, his inner essence and life position. And their further life and place in this life depend on what these relationships will be. This is a bad example, but there are others that most people are proud of. In many cases, students demonstrate true love and respect for their teachers and mentors, carry human warmth throughout their lives and are infinitely grateful to them for their work and patience, showing how one should respect and be grateful. There are many such examples, but the teacher's relationship with each good student is purely individual and very long-term.
With a trusting relationship, the student knows almost everything about the Teacher's life, and vice versa, the Teacher does not see a problem in telling a good, reliable student about all, even the most acute cases from his personal life, how difficult it was and what he had to go through, how he fought and how he won. In such trusting conversations, you can hear and understand anything. But a person endures and wins thanks to friends, teachers, his patience and a positive attitude to all his actions without exception. Not only the student to the Teacher, but also the Teacher to the student expresses words of gratitude and love, they simultaneously feel the strong energy of this person who has spent a long period of time with him, part of his life together, which was expressed in nobility and respect, in his attitude to the cause and himself. The student follows the Teacher on one path. In these moments of recognition, when a devoted and unfaithful student sincerely feels his gratitude to the Teacher with all his heart, expresses it, the Teacher's soul simply bursts, he deeply feels that it was not in vain, all the trips to competitions, all the difficult training and meetings, and the eyes of the elderly Teacher and honored master can, like an ordinary person, fill with tears from feelings, and in his heart there will be an even greater desire to help this student not only in sports, but also in all life problems. A grateful and devoted student can always count on the fact that the Teacher will always come to his aid, regardless of the circumstances. Every coach wants to have talented athletes. But not every coach can become a real Teacher. Teaching a boy to perform kicks and throws well, to perform successfully in competitions is only one side of success, the other side is to raise a person, a positive personality and a good student in an athlete. And a grateful and devoted student can only become according to his personal calling of the soul. In the philosophy of combat horting, these issues are defined very simply, every Teacher wants to have such grateful students, and every father wants such sons. To have such a student or son, you need to meet these requirements yourself and be grateful towards your Teacher and father. After all, the Teacher also has or once had a Teacher!
Without this continuity, it is impossible to become a leader of such spiritual qualities as love, nobility and respect, it is impossible to demand them from oneself if one does not demonstrate and set an example. This is the upbringing that the Teacher of Combat Horting tells students about in every lesson and calls for. A Teacher for a grateful student is a great source of pride and sincere respect. A student infinitely respects and loves the Teacher, this is the person with whom he is always ready to go to the end. That Teacher is a happy person who has such a school and such grateful students, about whom one can endlessly talk and be proud of them, thereby inspiring oneself to achieve new goals, to meet and communicate with people, to believe in our children and the future growing correctly educated generation. A decent Teacher who always keeps his word is loved by his students, they constantly thank him for having him and for walking with them on the same path, showing them this path, showing a personal example, inspiring them to sports achievements, work and struggle.
A coach teaches the technique of combat horting, teaches the theory and practice of martial arts, but how and what does a coach talk about during training, what philosophy does he add to the teaching methods? If he says that "we are the best and the most correct" - this is a very dangerous indicator, often indicating that he does not understand enough about education, or is not even a qualified specialist. In principle, everyone who is engaged in martial arts should be perceived as members of one organism, striving together for the same goal. This does not depend on the style or school. Enmity with other schools or arrogance is a bad indicator of insufficient experience. Usually, real masters do not discuss other schools on the principle of "bad" or "good". After all, for followers of combat horting, the most important thing is not who is "bad" and who is "good", but first of all, their own development, cleansing their own consciousness from anger and aggressiveness. A real Teacher, in addition to practical skills, always teaches and talks about the philosophy of combat horting, proper nutrition, a proper lifestyle, about the lives of other famous masters of combat horting, often takes as an example not himself personally, but other experienced masters. And this is a correct and effective technique. An experienced Teacher always requires high discipline not only during classes, but also in the process of students' life. Any team, be it small or large, always bases its activities on strict adherence by its members to generally accepted discipline. These rules are developed, first of all, for productivity and successful completion of the tasks, while self-discipline is the most important part of this process. In the practice of studying combat horting, self-discipline plays a leading role. On its basis, the general concept of human education is formed, namely, its strength and honor.
Combat horting is a sport of self-control. You must understand the nature of fear in order to be able to control it. Self-discipline gradually tempers a person in such a way that he can learn to control even his own fear. Fear in the philosophy of combat horting is like fire. You must make it work for you: “it will warm you in the cold, you can cook food on it when you are hungry, it will light your way in the dark and give you energy. But if you let it out of control, it can injure and even kill you.” People come to combat horting gyms to practice, both in terms of their physical condition and spiritual component, but after a short time they become completely different, more responsible for their lives and their behavior in society. Discipline and self-discipline are, first of all, an integral part of each of us, it is freedom within certain limits that we ourselves establish and demonstrate for ourselves and society.
To achieve a goal or a good attitude towards oneself, the Teacher and the people around you, you can only constantly work on yourself, and you need to start with the simple, most ordinary and earthly, for example, try not to be late and not to miss classes or work without good reasons, learn to treat with respect not only yourself and family members, but also the people around you, be a man of word and deed, never deceive. In society, you need to learn to be not only an individual, but also an integral part of the entire team. Discipline before the start of training requires that all students are already lined up in the hall and waiting for the start of classes. When the Teacher is dismissed at this moment, the students must be able to silently stand in the same formation in which they were before the start of classes, waiting for the Teacher to arrive. None of the self-disciplined students has a desire to leave the hall, but continues to stand, demonstrating an example of self-discipline and strength of spirit. These are serious practical tests for each of the students, but they must know the principles of school, collective and personal discipline, be able to pass such, or even more difficult disciplinary tests and be united to the end. At these moments, the students should be proud of each of them and the school as a whole, for the fact that they are a single strong team of real personalities. School discipline and etiquette can instill in students strength and responsibility, raise them to a new, higher level of human development and improvement. And all this was done for the students by their Teacher.
