First time teaching class tonight! *whew*
Sensei told me he wanted me to lead class about 20 minutes before start. Lucky though, it was a fight class tonight, so I have plenty of drills and ideas ready to go for it.
Started out with basic kicks, each side, then we ran 6 laps. I then lined everyone up and did a body/vertical punch drill. 3 each side, standing static then 6 each side with an active in/out attack, We then paired off and fought for 4x 2:00 rounds. 20 seconds off and 4x 2:00 rounds. Then 20 seconds off and quick 4x :30 seconds rounds. I have everyone do lateral skips back and fourth across the floor 3x times. Then 4x :30 second round fights a couple times.
I broke class with 10 minutes to spare and lined everyone up and asked the Blackbelts one by one about their observations fighting everyone.
I got a critique after class that when I was having everyone do basic kicks I went too fast. Which really sounds crazy because it felt really really slow when I was calling them out. Super helpful to hear that and to know it’s common pitfall people have made. Hopefully easy to fix in the future.
