Training for pro-instructor
I’ve put myself in training for that third day to increase my fitness for those tests (I need to do better in the pushup test and core test to pass), except following the weekend I was sick for a week, so that’s kinda knocked back my training progress
Only 4 weeks to train and [...]Day after Pro-instructor
I taught BP/BB last night, and it was weird. You look at our class in a whole different light. I was actually “thinking” about what I was saying (that’s something very very new to me!). The entire class was surreal, and although it wasn’t like I was doing anything hugely different, there was a slight [...]
Pro-instructor Day 2
Just back from day 2. OMG, it’s such an eye opener. A whole new world of teaching!

Just a little update………there’s now gradings every 6 weeks, instead of every 3 months, meaning the next grading is in 2 weeks.

Learning 3 step sparring and more blocks
Got thrown into the deep end [...]Pro-instructor
I’ve booked into a Pro-Instructor course this weekend (it’s a new advanced training package in Australia, and this is the first one to be held in Adelaide), and as part of it they do fitness testing etc. But if you teach more than one program, you have to nominate a program that you are going [...]
