First 2 hours class for new student

[JowGaWolf]

That varies by individual. I certainly wouldn't be interested in a form on the first day, but judging by the number of people who train in form-heavy styles, I suspect there are quite a few who enjoy them.

Base marketing on the type of student that you want then the interest becomes less varied.

But I'm in that group! I should have been doing forms all along?

I teach stances less than my instructor did. I mostly let them learn the stances as they learn techniques, when they can more easily (IMO) understand how a change in the stance (wider, taller, offset, etc.) affects utility.

I use the following sequence:

1. develop - by partner drill,
2. test - by spar/wrestling,
3. enhance - by equipment/weight training,
4. polish - by solo drill,

I follow the order 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4.
