Instructors

There are good instructors, bad instructors. 

There was one on helicopter flying, sounded mightily interesting, except that the presenter was unnecessarily acting the klutz, brought out a rubic cube at one stage.  Went up with the instructor, then with another and the instructors were good - succinct, friendly, ready to take over.

Presenter was acting the idiot, went to get in with a female instructor who told him she was more 'hands-off', so if he erred, he'd have to prevent the crash himself.   Sheesh!  Would you get into a flying machine with either of those?

Youtube were flooding me with stick defence videos and one I started to watch had some guy waving a walking stick around, gabbing on, hitting a punching bag, leaping about - quickly looked at the time, 51 minutes, I clicked out.

Next was a guy teaching longbow, dressed in a ye olde St George tunic ... groan ... was about to click out but didn't.  Glad I didn't because he was to the point, genuine - he really was firing those arrows.  Various commenters noted how good he was:

    The best instructors are usually concise. That's my experience anyway and with any martial art it's action, not words that count. You notice the archer is doing what he talking about so you watch and listen in that order.
