Have you ever been to a class and the
instructor starts with umms and erms. Does that instil confidence in you that
they know what they are doing. There is a large amount of martial artists that are
world class practitioners that just wing it or improvise when they teach. Some instructors
may plan a little, such as on the day or at worst not plan at all. Some of
these instructors plans may just be a scrap of paper with a few combos on but
does this suffice as a professional approach to imparting knowledge or
developing skills.
To be a professional instructor we need to be
more scientific in our approach. Planning on the day or not, is not a way to
run a successful class not to mention a successful martial arts business. To be
a successful professional teacher we need to be more scientific in our
approach. Here is a few tips on making your classes sky rocket with new
students or retain the ones you have:-
1. Teach with a learning outcome in mind
1. Teach with a learning outcome in mind
Learning outcomes are what a student will be
able to do as a result of learning. Clearly stated learning outcomes help
students understand what is expected of them and help instructors focus on
precisely what they want students to achieve. Before you plan your class, think about what
you want your students to get out of it. An example of a learning outcome could be; you
want you students to be able to escape from strangles. You may have to broaden out on your
objectives by looking at the variety of strangles such as being pushed back
while being strangled, pressed against a wall, standing still, from the side,
face pressed into a wall, etc.
Now you have fully established your goal,
learning outcome or what you want to achieve in a clear and concise fashion
then you have a foundation to deliver a great class.

As instructors we need to take into account our learners needs. Some
