good question. i do have an answer:
sometime soon, i intend on fleshing out the OP more, specifically going to try to get the GMT's of all teachers so students know who they can go to for quick questions or even a sparring session. a teachers job is actually relatively simple, but can be time consuming. optimally, teachers and students should be communicating with each other quite often.
during spars or on these forums, a student should be asking questions related to sparring and improvement and a teacher should provide them with some answers.
you can either give a student a mold to form to, or help them create their own. depends on how the student feels about it, as both options can be beneficial.
here's an odd little comparsion i'd like to make: as RSO teachers, you're the staff of this organization. some of us will be tertywerty, some of us will be duck, and some of us will be watermagic.
idk these dudes, i literally just read off the staff list but the point i'm trying to get at is we'll all be different and have different skill sets to utilize but, regardless, we're here to provide a community for those who enjoy sparring and wish to improve
if the student wants to focus on realism, they can communicate with a teacher who is really knowledgeable in making movements feel more realistic
if the student just wants to spar and create their own style but don't know where to start, then there's teachers to provide insight on that too
tl;dr the regimen is "be here, answer questions, spar students, discuss & cnc whenever possible". realism is not the focus, it's an option.
hope i didn't give you a wall of gibberish, tsu tsu cuckoo
on another note:
Pegasus: good to see! accepted!
Hope: i really like your flow, there's some obvious refining and polish to your style. let's
hope that having you in this org will entice you to get more active, as i'm hoping it will for me, haha. accepted!
