iolair Posted September 30, 2003 Posted September 30, 2003 At the school where I teach - it went pretty well. I had eight pupils turn up, which is apparently pretty good for a new club. I wrote a "lesson plan" with all the exercises, drills, stretches etc I was going to use, and had to refer to that a few times as I was going along. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. One of the pupils was actually a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Karate, which was kinda weird - especially as I had to correct him slightly on his kicking (I'm brown-belt standard in kickboxing...) I guess I'll know how well it really went when I see how many people I get next week!!! Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
CloudDragon Posted October 4, 2003 Posted October 4, 2003 good luck! A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit!
kenpo4life Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I didnt know that kickboxing had grades. If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it.
iolair Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 I didnt know that kickboxing had grades.That's why I described myself as "Brown Belt Standard" instead of "a Brown Belt"... ... however, although the kickboxing I've done did not have grades, a quick web search will find you plenty of american kickboxing schools that do use belt grades. I've never seen any Muay Thai practitioners with a belt though. Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
CloudDragon Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 umm. can you expand? A Black Belt is just a white belt that don't know when to quit!
