Twin Fist
Grandmaster
Just wanted to let you folks know how it went.
Had 4 people in class
38 yr old male
9 yr old male
19 yr old female
14 yr old female.
I walked them through how to bow into the dojo, showed them how to line up for bowing in.
did our warm ups
first thing after warm ups was front kicks, then back kicks with one hand on the wall for balance
did some head 6 inches feet 6 inches
taught fighting stance, which led into jabs and reverse punches
taught horse stance, and practiced low blocks and high blocks
finished up with them punching the heavy bag with the jab abd reverse punches, then both in combination.
Then we lined up, I talked about self defense, and when it is allowed to use your skills and when it isnt. We bowed, and recited the tenents of TKD and the Kenpo Creed
All four said they would be back, and one paid for 3 months up front on the spot.
Also had 4 potentials watching class, and the first thing they said was "when can we start?"
Over all, I am pretty stoked.
Thanks to Terry and everyone that gave me encouragement and ideas/inspiration while I was working towards this.
