exellent refernce

I have been teaching Taekwon-Do for the last three years now to both children and adults,ranging from people just interrestet in the fitness aspect of the sport to people currently on the national team. This book covers all aspects of instruction and student managing that you will need. To me alot of the contens was not completly new, but even the things i already knew was put into a system that made it easy to relate to and i know for sure that buying this book has had a positive effect on my instructor and coaching skills, wich my students have benefitted from. It covers a lot of teaching methology and alsoe includes a chapter on the buisness aspects of opening a martial art school, with budgeting and practical things that you have to do in regards to ensurance, advertising and much more.

A great place to start

I taught classes at my instructor's school for about a year before going out on my own. While I knew a good deal about teaching, I'd never really been taught how to teach in a systematized way. This book helped me organize my knowledge and fill in the gaps of what I'd missed out on learning "on the job" as a black belt. Wether you're a new instructor or you've been at it a while, this book is a great "road map" to solid teaching fundamentals.

Teaching Martial Arts

This is THE book on teaching martial arts. I bought the first edition when it came out many years ago and I love the additions that have been made in the second edition. If you are an instructor or hope to be some day, this the first book you should read.
