DWx Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 For those that teach (and also those that don't):Describe your ideal student. What qualities would they have? "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaine Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm pretty general here, I just want to see a student who wants to learn the material. After that I can teach them anything else (such as respect and humbleness etc.). Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastelander Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, if we're talking about "ideal," then I suppose they would be:HumblePatientInterested in martial artsMid- to late-teens in ageHealthy and fitTalented in physical movementIn reality, though, I'm thrilled any time I get the first three things in that list Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWx Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Great responses thus far Here's a follow up question:Taking a look at these two qualities: physically gifted vs enthusiasmWhat ratio of each would your perfect student have? You've got 100% to allocate between the two. Would you want 50% enthusiasm 50% physical ability? Or maybe 60:40? 25:75? or maybe even 99% of one of those traits and only 1% of the other?
