What about switching martial arts schools? I'm sure a new school would let him test in not too long of a time once they saw his abilities and eagerness.

I'm a locomotive engineer driving freight trains in Canada. That cab looks very VERY different from the ones we use. What's your average track speed? Ours is 45-55 mph. Also our trains get up to 15000 feet long, on occasion and our largest weighing ones are up to 18000 tons/36 million pounds. We also hit lots of wildlife. Do you guys go one direction then back on another train or back in a cab?/Do you get put up in hotels? We typically take trains only so far then come back on another one. We have what are called bunkhouses where we get put up in if waiting for another train to come home on. I see that delays are the the most annoying thing for you. Pretty much same for us. It's hurry up and wait. Here almost NO ONE that rides the rails enjoys their job even slightly. The main reason being we are on call 24/7 364 (they graciously give us x-mas day off, + vacation days). Do you guys feel that you are valued employees/treated with respect by your company?

Figured I'd throw in some info about my job with the questions to possibly spur more questions or answers and fill you in a bit about the job over here. Take care out there bud.
