If it's already passed, then technically you owe 1/10 of the contract value (assuming you've left within the first 1/10 of the contract term).

    BTW, would you mind posting the text of the contract (without your details, of course). I'd be interested in seeing what it says.
    well if you mean scan it, i have no scanner, so i cant, the most i can do is just type what it says, but would there be a point to that? up to you, lol.

    edit: hmm, i just looked at it again, thing is i dont wanna post any info from it, like start date, etc, sounds stupid, but i think a few people watch this thread from fsd, and i really dont need anymore problems, thats all i need, them calling me talking about this thread..

    thereis not much info on it anyway, my start date, payment plan, etc.

    but i still prefer not to post it public, i know, i sound like a sissy, lol

    As for your contract, see my blog entries on exit strategies. Since you're still in your one month trial period, you should be able to cancel your contract with no obligation.

    Well, i didnt want to say because i did not see it with my own eyes, but i met 3 guys and 1 girl who just quit 2 months ago, we sat in my house, for about a whole day, about 8-9 hours, and 90% of what we talked about was about FSD, all 4 of them told me a bunch of stuff, while i was just sitting there thinking i should have listend to the guys on bullshido, stupid me, but i learned the hard way.

    good thing i didnt pay yet, i was doing the free month, but still signed the contract (i know what to do, i think)

    mainly, they told me alot about the training camp, and how koolaid drinkers who still do fsd will not say about the feet washing and poop sniffing, but once they quit, they talk about it.

    when it came time for the sniffing, the girl passed the bucket down, wouldnt hold it for a second, and one of the sifu's gave her shit, and made the poor girl cry.

    one of the guys got a broken nose during one of the training things where he had to run up rope fences? (that what there called? thats what he called it) he fell flat on his face and broke his nose, and a sifu yelled at him dont be weak, and made him continue the course with blood pooring out of his nose, and he could barely see.

    he also said the feet washing was after a long barefoot training session, every member would have to wash every other members feet, while they were filthy from dirt and grass.

    another one of the guys said how agressive sJP was with him, by doing the "1 inch punch" on him, except he did it on his chest, no pad, no board, just his chest and left a huge bruise.

    they said all about the prices, and how when you hit yellow sash they really start to pressure the seminars on you, and the training camp.

    they also mentioned the arrows, how they only said you have to pay for them after the seminar, before you start they dont tell you. one of the guys used about 40 arrows, because sJP was saying the more he breaks the better he will get, then when he was given the bill a week later for the arrows he started yelling and swearing, so his sifu said you are going to spar with me today, and the guy got his ass kicked, including had to get stitches because they didnt use masks/headgear.

    out of everything, they said the camp was the worst, but there whole 2 years there was hell after there first 2 weeks-month.

    they also talked about a sifu fighting in a comp, they didnt say much about it, except for the comp he fought in was fixed for the sifu to win, which i didnt understand.

    i am sure alot of you know this already, but this is what these 4 people told me, i am sure i am forgetting something, anyway, thats most of it.

    i didnt see that video before, i missed like 25 pages of this thread, lol..

    thats nuts, he doesnt even do it for long, grabs his chest for like 2 seconds, then starts with the flurry of punches, lol.

    you'd think at least he would fall on the floor while grabbing his chest, roll around gasping for air, then when the other guys asks if he's ok, the guy faking the heart attack pokes the other guy in the eye, then pulls out his chain punches, lol.

    what a load of crap.

    I have now asked you 3 times for your technical opinion of the videos we have posted. What do you think of the Heart Attack Close?

    Simple Question.

    and askari, i told you, when i wrote that blog when i was all hyped about fsd, it was a mistake, just like joining fsd was a mistake.

    Be specific please. Do you like the Hesitating Close better then the Heart Attack Close?

    Did you just take down your blog? Good thing I saved it before you did now isn't it - Dont worry I'll just quote it randomly.

    ok, easy now.

    i saw most of the videos, i find alot of the later things tought very odd. what i saw in class?, punches, kicks, pushups, crunches, eye of the tiger, the basics, lol.

    but i honestly find alot wierd about fsd, just like any art, all the strikes and what not, but there is also alot of pointless stuff, i was not a member long enough too see all of it, but from what i heard, yeah.

    and please, easy on the insults, we are all adults here.
