Our first seminar is now over. Covering three days of intense martial arts training, Master Siminoff put our students through the paces both physically and mentally. It gave me as an instructor an opportunity to review more closely, my students, their progress and different ideas to incorporate into my own lesson plans.
As an instructor, I need to keep learning. I need to push my limits so my students can identify with me. If I dont push hard, neither will they. I learned a lot this weekend. I even had a great chance to spar with one of my students during a look at tournament sparring . He called me out and with a smile on my face, I accepted the challenge. I like that about my students, they do like to push themselves and me.
Or when during sparring, I asked a very sweaty teenage student if he was having fun and he had the biggest smile on his face.
Let me know what you thought about the seminar! what was your favorite moment? Anything you would like to see in future seminars?
