I don't know why I say yes to these things but shihan asked if I would teach a sabaki class for him this month becasue he has a meeting to go to. I have taught beginner classes, no sweat. But this is different. I will be teaching adults who know mostly what they are doing. I have to do 15 minutes of kihon, 10 of fitness and then a half hour of teaching some kind of fighting techniques. I have to come up with a plan and submit it to shihan this week. What should I teach, how should I teach it? It can't be too complicated because I am not ready to teach complicated. suggestions are welcome! Going to have a panic attack  |

Just put together a class you would do for yourself in self training. For the first fighting techniques, keep it simple. Pick a few drills techniques that you like and are comfortable doing. Have an extra one or two, just in case.

Osu! Keep it simple, drills and combos you know and are comfortable with. Use the fitness section to energise and motivate particularly if the tempo hasn't achieved the level you want in kehon, don't be afraid to rely on oldies but goodies that you have been taught. (thier oldies and goodies for a reason). Be confident and stamp your authority on the class through that confidence. If you don't doubt it they won't, like any class. Overplan a little so you don't get through it all rather then end up twiddling your thumbs. Best of luck.  Osu! |

Sounds like you did awesome! This is the joys of being an instructor . You can try to plan only so much ahead of time but you always have to improvise somewhat at some point... As more time goes by, you'll get more experience and don't really need to plan out as much ahead of time, if at all. I only plan out now when I'm having my senior student teach a "kihon class" to the mudansha so he knows what to teach...but as time goes by I'm giving him less and less directions of what to do, just some basic guide lines. I think this is the natural course of being an instructor, but maybe I'm way off, as well. Osu! |

I kind of wish that I had instructions to start with, less stress. But in the end, I am glad i did it all by myself. I feel like I accomplished something
