Question 119: More on student volunteers

Any businesses, including martial arts schools, that violate labor laws, should be pursued by the agencies responsible for enforcement of the laws. Martial art schools have little to no local, state, or federal governing regulations except those that apply to any type of businesses. They do not have to be licensed as martial art schools, there are no governmental organizations charged with overseeing their operation, and there are no nationally recognized professional organizations that govern their ethics.

Regrettably, there are idiots, frauds, and even crooks in every profession, be they doctors, lawyers, professors, or even Presidents. Your son’s grandmaster and master (nuts seldom fall far from the tree) appear to be couple of the idiots in the martial arts profession.
