First night as an official martial arts instructor. God. If I'M the voice of reason....
Wasn't a bad first attempt. Definitely room for improvement and some semblance of organisation. Will definitely get better as time goes.
If this is my worst class ever then they might make a decent instructor out of me yet.
Seriously though. A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who turned up and endured my first attempt at teaching. I promise it'll only get better from here. Remember
STRIKE FIRST
STRIKE HARD
DON'T BLOCK WITH YOUR FACE
just a bit of karate fun to finish the day. Also a good bit of self reflection. No one's perfect. Even when they reach the "holy grail" of earning a black belt.
Hopefully I'll have 20 students by this time next year and Facebook serves this up as a memory and we can all read this and think. Damn. We've come a long way. That's the plan at least. Osu
Rant over.
