Progress/Feedback
-
Overall classes -Did not attend instructor training this week - Family sick - unable to reschedule a different date due to babysitter issues
-
working on command of each group. Will need focus on teaching of entire curriculum up to Shodan rank. Part of this development will be done during the Monday night teen/adult class.
-
Videos of class teaching will help in developing the voice level changes and capturing engagement during low energy classes and/or distracted students. We give the high energy classes huge recognition when they are demonstrating with effort. We give prompting to the entire group that needs to become more engaged without necessarily directing these prompts to an individual unless they are acting way out of their normal character or are not participating at all or if due to a behavior issue/concern. We do recognize individuals that are really shining!
-
You are now working on closing up the pauses between strikes/kicks -- keep working on this and you will start to feel yourself flowing from strike to strike, etc.
Working on Transitions/flow with call out of strikes - goal: Keeping momentum high and limiting downtime. Watch the video and listen where the transitions being called out can move without downtime/lull. Big take is to keep it moving minimizing delay in between strikes...keeping repetitions with good intensity/cadence. Video taken on 3/23 Ninjas class.
