Topic: Draculino - Have any of your students surpassed you?

Have you ever had students surpass your own ability? If so how did it make you feel as an instructor. If not, how would you feel if some one ever did?

Yes. Lots of them. When you talk about ability, I say physical condition, natural talent, experience and Technique. On the Physical condition and natural talent, numerous, on the last two, maybe not yet. But I hope they do soon. I teach and train everyday because I want my students to be better than me. Also, I tell them that their students have to be better than them. That is the way that our art will continue to be in non stop evolution.
