bushido_man96 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Our school has a set of basics that it does at the beginning of each class, and it usually take 15 to 20 minutes to get through them. We also use them when we have orientations for new students. We spend two weeks orienting them, and then they go right into the regular class, being able to do the same warm-up as everyone. This helps to avoid confusion, and facilitate classroom interaction.Does everyone else have the same set of basics that are done prior to all of the classes? Or do you change the order and types of exercises that you do? Just wondering. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheekyMusician Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Not really. At my Uni club we do a lot of punching in natural stance or doing Heian Shodan to warm up and beginners will usually be taken out of the main body of the class and taught by someone else until they are ready to join in.At my other club we don't do basics up and down the hall every training session, but during the 6 weeks or so leading up to the belt tests we'll do them for maybe 45 minutes or so and they generally follow roughly the same pattern: practicing basic stepping punches, then basic blocks, then blocks followed by punches, then other striking techniques, combinations or hand techniques, basic kicks, combinations of kicks and hand techniques together. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjanurse Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 We include basics in every class-10 or 15 minutes or so at least. I do vary them according to the ranks present and if needed spend extra time.

RichardHangHong Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 For our beginner-intermediate classes we do the basics every lesson, covering all the strikes, blocks, stances and kicks. This takes up about 30 minutes of a 1.5 hour lesson. Advanced classes are spent focusing on kata and kumite.

Red J Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 We do "basics" at every class. Usually for beginner's class its kept to simple strikes and kicks for 15 minutes or so. In the advanced class it always changes employing tougher patterns and combinations of striking and kicking for a good 15 minutes. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.

ps1 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Sounds like your school is very organized and it will help to keep those new students feeling included. We didn't do it that way. Honestly...I may try to include that in the future though. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 We do one of a varied set of basics, depending on what the instructor feels like, and who the instructor is. But they are transferable through all classes, yes.

cathal Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 For our beginners class they usually perform the same basics for a month or two. After that we tend to vary it as we start adding new techniques. For all other classes we'll do different ones each time, but there is usually a theme central to what is being taught/discussed. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the exception being that advanced classes will do different exercises than beginners, but they're all things that we've been through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
