I was wondering if other people, below black belt, ever had to teach other people. Sometimes I have to teach others when the teacher is too busy to come to the training. I really don't like teaching, simply because I believe I'm not experienced enough to be doing so and I don't want to take the responsibility for teaching them stuff that's isn't completely perfect.
Luckily I always have a girl friend that helps me out when I have to teach. Because it's mostly small children I have to teach, and I'm not that good with a big group of small children
Furthermore, I sometimes also just teach people stuff when they want me to help them, but that's usually only 1-3 people at a time.

I have to teach my friends at the dojo all the time. I have tons of friends who only joined 'to have some fun' after a hard day's work and don't take learning very seriously... My teacher is oblivious to their lack of care and blames their sub-par results on the fact that they don't understand the fundamentals.... So sometimes i am told to look after their progress when he's not around....
Training five people at a time is not very fun when all they want to do is see who can throw the other person off the mat first...They end up just pushing each other until one gives.
Heh, so i guess i can understand how you feel....My friend's act like kids half the time....
