Would this interest you?

[Traymond]

Would it be more interesting to have classes one week that weren't around next week?

Like say if your classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays and you teach different things.

So week one

Tues - Judo

Thurs - Kobudo

Week two

Tues - Karate

thurs - Aikido

Would you guys like that or no?...I dont but one of my teachers are thinking of doing just that...Im against it...

[Harlan]

So, essentially, a karate student would get only one class every two weeks?

[Grego]

I don't know if this would work for me.

Two weeks between classes? I mean, most Karateka I know are in the Dojo at least twice a week.

I don't think you'd get much training value.

[JusticeZero]

I too am not sure I see the value, as described.

[Traymond]

its hard to say he is trying to keep it mixed up since their is only one few for a dojo training and your allowed to come any day you want. We teach up to four days a week we let people know the days a month in advance, but he is trying to keep it mixed up. Their may be at times two karate classes a week, some weeks none.

I do not agree with this, at any cost. I think it is idiotic. I have the greatest respect for my teacher but I do not think this is the way to go.

I mean, why not do it five days a week and up the price on the monthly fee...make it like 50 instead of 40 dollars? And do a class once a day for five days.

[Kuma]

Participation should dictate on how often a class is offered. If you have 11 people going to Class A but Class B has 2, Class A should be offered more often than B.

[Traymond]

The thing with his classes are that some times one is strong while the other is weak and vice versa that is one the of reasons why he wanted to mix them up a bit, to add flavor and variety instead of the old monotonous tone.

[sensei8]

Ooohhhhhhhhh...I don't like that idea! Red flags all over the place! I hope for your sake that it doesn't happen to you!

[Traymond]

unfortunately its not up to me anymore, my sensei has already done it.

[tallgeese]

I don't know. Might be a pretty good apprach if your primary focus integration into a whole.

It'd be akin to working stand up one day, ground another, together and spar a third. Lot's of guys work on that schedule. My only gripe would be the lack of reps at each station (aside from not having much intrest in trad weapons).

I'm in a minority, but if they were diciplines I liked, I'd give it a go.
