Long Distance Learning

I admit to cringing over the number of academic long distance learning courses offered to young students in recent years. I know that technology is removing lots of economic, geographic, and even cultural barriers for students, but the fact remains that a lot of learning is short changed by the long distance effect. Without a teacher to connect to, without a 360 degree view of things, and without (in the case of martial arts training) physical guidance from a practiced hand, it takes hours and hours of manipulating video for me to gain what others might have with the benefit of physically attending class and having the guidance of Master Schleeter or Grand Master Michael De Alba to learn just this part of Farang Dan Jang Hyung (Farang Cane Form). As always, I can't wait to get to train with them again. Farang!
