Re: Teaching For Fun Or Profit.
I'd have to agree that Dan summed it up pretty nicely.
As long as there are those that genuinely love the art it will perpetuate. The larger schools have a larger presence and probably more influence, but the part-time instructors that do so out of their garage or a fitness room at the local gym or "Y" are just as valuable to our continued growth. Sometimes those grow into the larger schools. We all gotta start somewhere!
