I think I found a pic of YB in action:
After 4 years of learning Aikido and Salsa, I learned that the best teachers are not the best experts, and the best experts sometimes make horrible teachers.
I'm neither a noob nor a master but girls love to dance / train with me saying how I teach and explain better than the teacher himself. While in fact I'm just being nice cause they are cute / have big tits. They could do a horrible techniques and I would say: not bad. Curiously enough, they started to really get motivated and made a lot of progress.
That's when it really hit me that competence is overrated. Motivation and discipline is more important. Unfortunately you are not Gengis Khan or Richard the Lionhearted so you cant motivate people with fear. So you have to motivate by love.
This works for my LTR too. There's a time and place for negative reinforcement, but positive reinforcement must be preferred. Be the inspiring leader, not the feared tyrant.
Especially since HEMA still has a bad mainstream reputation, you dont want to be brutish jerk with sword. You want to be the fearsome but easy going viking.
Dude, did you seriously just found a way to get laid with HEMA? That's hilarious and next level shit.
But yes, the idea works universally when you are a trainer. I'm currently training my inner circle comrades in MMA and we have one new girl regularly attending. Being in the position of a trainer and leader of men is instant social proof. And if you are skilled (and potentially "bad boy" dangerous when you are doing Martial Arts), but still are patient and nice, girls will trust you. And usually the good kind of girls, you are not playing dancing monkey for her, competing for her attention with thousand instagram simps. So tldr; I'm smashed her without much effort. Can recommend.
