VALUABLE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES, EVEN FOR ME AS A PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL TEACHER

I would rate Teaching for Martial Arts a 9 out of 10 because the course makes you think about all the areas needed to become a teacher of karate rather than an instructor of karate


Even though I'm a professional teacher myself, I found areas of teaching that could make a session easier to prepare and run much smoother.


You also discover how to be flexible in terms of the expectations of your student being able to learn techniques. With it, you can be prepared to adapt the session to suit the students.

insights and frameworks to explain in different ways

Teaching For Martial Arts is a way to the top. A great tool when to plan for dojo training. 

Specifically, I like the many point of views to describe techniques. 

I used to explain techniques one way, but this course provided insights and frameworks to explain in different ways that allowed me to take different students into account, even if they have the same level."
