Going Rogue

Going Rogue is the highest state of Maverickness. It is achieved when the Student Maverick surpasses the Master's Mavericky Abilities.

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.

Going Rogue is the final, spiritual awakening phase of Maverickness. Once achieved, the Maverick no longer has to be a team player or preform time-wasting activites like reaching across the aisle.
