Similar to my colleagues it seems, with something more pressing on the agenda.. in this case doing up our Barwell studio, my focus has slipped from training to that of simply 'getting things done'. The weekend however, despite yet again sticking two fingers up at my so called diet, has proven very useful and informative for me.
Instructor training didnt really happen saturday morning as there was a great deal of discussiona about the grading night which was scheduled for the eveing. We did however ( me matt and craig) critique dozer on his performance at the grading on friday night. Dozer was in charge of running the grading allowing me and the other two to give the students our full attention and really look at how people are progressing and also what areas we need to focus on.
Saturday saw me teaching the kids at Barwell. I had invited my parents down to see what the academy lookds like in full swing, as it were. Unfortunately the classes were not as busy so i was a little disapointed. The reason for me inviting my parents down was two fold: one to see them as they have only just got back from lanzeroti, jammy gits! and secondly to increase the pressure on me to perform at my best and demonstrte to my parents that thiS Martial arts instructors thingy was not just a phase and as of 3 months ago a complete way of life. Saturday classes are typically non technical so the kids were treated to 45 mins of games with a few techniques thrown in for good measure. To round off Saturday at Barwell i managed to get 30 minutes worth of cardiio training in by joining in dozers Joint adult fitness class.
Saturday night was the first official Stealth grading presentation evening. The aim of which was simply to give the guys more of an official recognition for them passing thier belts. Overall the eveing was a sucess and i quite look forward to the next one.
