bushido_man96 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Planning, planning, planning. Have a good class plan. Have them divide into groups of around ten, and set up 6 or 7 different stations, where at each station you have different activities going on. One could be clapper pad drills, another could be one-steps/self-defense, one doing basic hand techniques in small line drills. Then spend around 10 minutes or so on each station, and then rotate them.If you have some older kids, that are intermediate rank, and would like to get experience assisting you, get their help. Assign each one a station, review what they will do and what their responsibilities are, and give them pointers on what to look for in basic techniqe development.Also, have lots of patients Good luck!! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Red J Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 You may need a bookkeeper to keep track of the tuition.... I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
ps1 Posted May 28, 2006 Posted May 28, 2006 If even half of the students you have now stay with you, you should be able to think about opening an actual dojo of your own. That would give you even more opportunities. It sounds like you must be very good, otherwise 75 parents would not have signed up with you. Good luck.

RichardHangHong Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Wow! That's a lot of students to handle and especially when it's kids! I'd suggest splitting up the classes into 2 sessions. If you are unable to do that, get your junior black belts or adult seniors to come to the class and help you out as "sempais" if you can. Go through what you want them to do in the class earlier in the week, maybe even write it down for them. With your tuition I'm sure they can handle the task. Depending on how capable they are, you might need 3-6 assistants in there with you. This will give you a bit more room to move around in the class and teach them all. Another plus is that the assistants can help you keep the kids under control. Richard Hang HongChief InstructorSeitou Ryu KarateFind me on Facebook!Seitou Ryu Karate
