In most hierarchical teaching structures (and on the Karate Kid DVD), the master will determine when the student is ready. The sheer nature of Maverickness dictates that a true Maverick can trust no one (just in case they have to get Mavericky on their ass). A Maverick Master not only understands this, the Master embraces and condones the student's Roguegoing action when it eventually occurs (even if the action appears to others not enlightened to the Maverick Way to be insubordination). Many Maverick Masters have acted as soothsayers and foretold of their student's eventual Roguegoing.
