Do you teach beginners the same way as advanced?

 




Yes and No.




Beginners need 

  1. Clarity.  They don't have a clue but want it.  They are ready for some detail but not too much.  At the least tell them where is the target and what is the outcome you want to see.
  2. Steps.  Beginners need slow step by step instruction.
  3. Create the scenario- Pull students in with an emotional mental and physical connection.  Make it realistic in their minds.


Advanced students need
  1. Clarity.  But not during the workout phase but in the recovery phase.  Don't over-talk your class where you lose momentum.  There is a time and a place for discussion.
  2. Steps.  Black belts want details.  Movement, musculature, history, philosophy, and anatomy.  Know all the details so you can pass it on.
  3. Create the scenario.  Real combat needs to be scenario-driven not just technique-driven.
