Pacificshore Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Just interested in finding out how many of the instructors here on the forum require your students to maintain a training book as part of their training. I have maintained a training book for most of my training. If it isn't kept in my book, I have it recorded on video somewhere.

Pacificshore Posted April 29, 2003 Author Share Posted April 29, 2003 It is a book that the student writes out everything they've learned during training. Probably should have added the word "note" in front of book! Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I have kept a book since my early days. I would record my katas and combinatons I was working on. Since we ran on a quarter system something else I also did with it was to sit down at the beginning of the quarter and set goals. And then once a month evaluate how they were going. My notes helped me to remember better what I was learning. I think it also helped to be able to go back and see where I was compared with where I am now.

karatekid1975 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 (edited) I don't have a notebook, but my school has something similar. They have student manuals that have everything all written out. Everything from forms to step sparring to joint locks. It is split up by rank (what you need to know for each rank). It comes in handy, that's for sure Edited August 5, 2003 by karatekid1975 Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karate_woman Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 For grading purposes I have to keep track of the hours I spend training in the dojo, plus seminars, and tournaments. Some people write down what they learn in class and others don't. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao-Tse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I guess it was natural for me to keep a martial arts training book. You see, I have been keeping a strenght training and aerobic log for years. Training books are really helpful to look back over and see what kind of results what you are doing is getting. And seeing what the results in changes in your workout bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
