Thank you. 💛

Nice to see you on my dash again, but I’m sorry to hear that you’re not doing well! Sending love and virtual hugs!

I needed that and appreciate you

I guess it's time to move on. And I'll start from the place where it all began.

Do any of my fellow budoblrs here teach classes in their respective martial art(s)? Any tips or advice for those who are interested in facilitating classes at their gym? How to plan for class? How to lead a class?

Last night, our second black belt instructor wasn’t present to teach class, so some of us took the liberty to facilitate instruction. The 5pm class was led by one of our purple belts but then he had to jet at 6. I was left with some white belts that haven’t trained enough to spar, so instead of walking off to get in some rounds of rolling, I decided to work with the beginners by adding to what the purple belt had shown in the previous class. We worked on a basic rear naked choke escape plus the various rear naked choke grips. From there, we worked a variation of the escape to where the defender turns into the person on the back but is still inside their guard. What to do from there? We got to working on guard break, then passes, then side control. After the guard break and pass drills, I had the beginners chain the moves altogether; from defending the RNC, to escaping, to breaking the guard, to passing, and to maintaining side mount. I had the beginners watch my demo, drill the moves, then had them explain to me how to perform the techniques step by step.

I’ve learned, from working in a coffee shop, that an effective way to have your fresh new partner absorb the information – with some minute details and all – is have them regurgitate it back to you. They seemed to have responded well to the sequence we went over and appeared to show a solid understanding of the moves and why we worked on that particular sequence.

This sparked interest in working with white belts more, especially on days when our Tuesday/Thurs professor (not the head instructor) can’t make class.

I like to organize my thoughts in some sort of bullet journal and then an online database of your choice. I use simple mind.

The golden rule: you don't need to teach them more, just make them better. I've seen so many instructors crash and burn because the taught something that they had no business teaching.

The internet is a blessing and a curse. Use it as a resource not a lifeline. My general rule is watch it on mute first. If you can understand it without explanation, then give it a go with sound. But don't fall into the latest fad and teach them whatever craze is online.

It's also ok to say idk to questions. AS LONG AS IT'S SAFE my response is give it a try (carefully) and see what happens.

Teach what you're confident in first.

Good luck!
