Summary: Summary
Review: Teaching Martial Arts by Sang H. Kim is a comprehensive handbook for aspiring as well as experienced martial arts instructor. A wide range of information is covered including detailed strategies and techniques for creating lesson plans, teaching various age groups, retaining students, using training equipment, planning supplementary activities and managing classes on a daily basis. The book takes a straight forward approach to teaching, distilling complex theory into ready-to-use methods that are especially helpful for martial artists who have no prior teaching experience. Charts, checklists, questionnaires and sample plans are provided throughout the book to help the reader apply his or her knowledge directly to the classroom. This revised and expanded second edition of Teaching Martial Arts includes a bonus section titled "Launching a Martial Arts School" which details the steps to opening a successful martial arts school, including budgeting, finding a! good location, setting tuition rates, recruiting students, furnishing the school, setting-up a class schedule and more. This is the first time this type of information has been made available in a book for martial arts instructors.
