How To Tell If A Martial Arts School Instructor Is Good
Your readiness to learn and dedication not withstanding
, it is a good Martial Arts School Instructor who makes you an expert in the field. In the present world it isnt too difficult to find the boards of Martial Arts Schools flaunting themselves in every city or town. But whats difficult is to find a competent school and a proficient instructor. The following six tips may come in handy:
1.Find out if the Instructor holds authentic and competent credentials for the trainings he handles.
2.Find out if the Instructor engages more in oral teaching or in practical demonstrations. A good Instructor teaches more by examples than by precepts.
3.Find out the ratio of trainers to trainees. The less the number of students in each batch the more the Instructor will be able to give individual attention to each of them.
4.Find out the degree of discipline enforced. If the Instructor is too lenient it should be perceived that the Instructor is focused more on not losing his trainees than in giving them the right training. In Martial Arts rigorous practice and discipline is a must.
5.Find out if the Instructor encourages suggestions and innovations. A good instructor gives more importance to feedback from the trainees.
6.Find out if proper assessments of your progress would be made and enough follow-up instructions provided. A good Instructor will be ever engaged in gauging the abilities of his students, identifying their mistakes and enforcing corrective measures.
The information sought above can be obtained directly from the Martial Arts Schools, the Instructors themselves and from some of the trainees there. But it is always wise to seek advice also from some reliable trainees who have passed out successfully from the schools or have learnt under the particular Martial Arts Instructor.
