Jussi Häkkinen Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Old good clothespin sparring is also a good drill. Kids will have helmets and 10 clothespins attached to their do-gi. Both have to try to take clothespins off from the other - and other has to defend - and vice versa. So, sparring where "contact" is replaced by taking off a clothespin.

shortstick Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Those are all great......If you are not already doing it, make sure you keep a note book with all your class planners in them- I have a section with just games. When I get a new one, I add it to the list with a short discription. I found after several years of teaching you start to forget some of the old ones. You can take a look now and then to re-visit some of the games or drills you may have forgotten. Have fun, and your students will too!

karatekid1975 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Good suggestion, shortstick. I just started doing that. I wrote down all the drills my school does, plus all the ones mentioned here. I also started to write down a "lesson plan" (what I plan on doing during the class). The first time going in there "cold," I felt like an idiot not knowing what to do (except for the main lesson). I wrote everything down from the time they bow in to the time they leave (including games/drills). Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstick Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Ya, it really helps with the flow of your class. you cant always do everything you planned, but you wont look like you are just making things up as you go. lets parents and students see you are prepared.

karatekid1975 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I agree. It's better to finish late than look like an idiot trying to "make things up" to full class time Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadosensei Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 A game I use in my dojo for youngsters is spinning the belt. You (or if you have any sense) your assitant stands in the middle and the students form a ring around you. Take a long belt and spin it around at foot level, thay have to jump it, vary the height so theyeither jump or duck. Last one standing gets the reward.
