koreantiger81 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Which type of instructor do you think is most effective? I came up with some examples of Types of instructors...if you can think of other types of instructors, please add to this list! Types of Instructors: Drill Sargent=Strict, Yells out orders, Never smiles, works his students excessively Friend=Mr. Nice guy. Trys to be friends with all his students. Laid-back, cheerful Coach=Constantly critiques, Provides Encouragement, motivates Respected=Calm, quiet, says very little, intimidating, maintains symbolic Master image Kinesiologist/TrainerBlack-Belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessone Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Without question the coach. There is such a thing as working too hard, and getting yelled at with no encouragement is hard on anyone. Being too laid back often means you don't learn anything, though. And the master type doesn't teach because he's too busy looking somber.

spinninggumby Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Yea I would vote for the coach too, hehehe. Provided that he is actually giving effective and beneficial constructive criticism and he really knows his stuff :smile: 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I agree. The Coach. If you are too hard, the students will quit. If you are the "coach", the students will love it. If you are too soft, the kids will walk all over you. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I'd most prefer being taught by someone who is a mix of Drill Seargent and Coach. JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tessone Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Agreed. That's one thing I like about our instructors--they can really push us hard in the dojang, but afterwards we often go out to eat, cut up, joke around, etc. As long as you can maintain discipline in the dojang and still act that way outside it, it makes things much more comfortable for the student.

Deathcometh Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I believe the respected on because they give you somone to look up too everytime you are training keeping you from becoming something that you don't want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aitkd2nddan Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I think the most effective instructor, especially for children, is the coach who can either be a drill sargent or a friend depending on how disciplined and well behaved the class is. I also think that there should be a master instructor that might only teach black belts, this gives people more motivation to reach their black belts expose yourself to your deepest fear;after that fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes.
