    think a role model of positive masculinity is a good place to start.

    Right, but what about being a judo instructor makes you automatically a positive masculine role model? Steven Seagal instructs aikido an even less aggressive martial arts and he’s a giant piece of shit.

      Nothing automatically makes someone a good role model obviously, but going through a program like Judo teaches you a lot of things like being humble.

      I’d actually contrast that to supposedly softer martial arts like aikido where you don’t actually train with resistance and therefore don’t get that humbling effect that I was talking about.
