Martial arts trends

Eerst, martial arts stonden bekend als een middel tot zelf verdediging of expressie. Onlangs werden meer en meer onderzoek verricht om te ontdekken de voordelen en de doeltreffendheid van de martial arts. Anderen die de zelf verdediging vechtsport zegt zijn nuttig bij het verbeteren van de gezondheids werkers uit de achting eigenwaarde, geduld, moed, respect voor anderen en etc.. Daarom is er een tendens dat meer mensen gaan om te proberen al de voordelen van martial arts vechtsporten klassen. Maar u weet hoe deze ontwikkeling gaan rond het jaar?

De trend die begon op ongeveer 450 Bodhidharma voor c. b. - werd beschouwd als de vader van de moderne bronnen van martial arts bye. Hij was een Brahman koning. Hij legde uit dat het lichaam en geest onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden voor de monniken in de Shaolin Tempel zijn.Toen hij de systematisering introduceerde van de oefeningen om gezondheid te houden physique.Il leert ook de monniken op de Indiase vechten bewegingen.

Deze bewegingen en vaardigheden ontwikkeld in boksen tempel Shaolin, dat is wat wij vandaag - Shaolin Kung-fu.

U kunt kiezen om te geloven dat er geen neiging bestaan aangezien de martial arts hebben ook geoefend omdat er, longtemps.Anyways het gebruik van vechtsporten als vormen van behandeling en therapie stijgt dramatisch vanwege de therapeutische effecten van wetenschappelijk onderzoek.

In 1995, Weiser Kutz, Kutz, ondersteunt Weiser de idee dat door het beoefenen van martial arts, zelf vertrouwen in iemand kon worden versterkt door middel van natuurkunde en groeps activiteiten, concentratie en focus, franchise in technieken voor communicatie en détente.certaines mensen zijn van mening dat krijgs kunsten kan ing rij pen buitengewone geconfronteerd sommige psychologische agressie problemen en een laag gevoel van eigenwaarde.

In 2001 vonden sommige onderzoekers dat Taiji dwingende gevolgen voor self-efficacy ontwikkelen kan en zelf fysieke functie ervaren. Taiji is ook beschouwd als een fiscale matige intensiteit aerobics die bijdragen kan tot het verminderen van pijn in de gewrichten en houd u fit. Het zal zeker aantrekken van meer mensen aan de ontwikkeling van de martial arts, omdat obesitas dramatisch vandaag stijgt.

Zijn niet alleen de traditionele martial arts door mensen gebruikt om gezond te blijven.In plaats daarvan zijn een modern martial arts leuk.Een goed voorbeeld zou zijn dat Capoeira.Capoeira is een mengsel van dans, zang en de strijd tegen de uitvinder van de Braziliaanse.In feite, werd Capoeira uitgevonden door de slaven Afro-brésilienne uit de 16de tot de 19de eeuw.Het was echter verboden om bepaalde redenen worden uitgevoerd.In 1937, Capoeira werd aanvaard door de regering van Brazilië vandaag, capoeira werd een trend in de monde.On is van mening dat de Capoeira een goed idee van de ritmes van individuen kan ontwikkelen.

Waarom we het een trend noemen? het is gewoon omdat het verandert en zich in de trend ontwikkelt van de martial arts temps.La voortdurend groeit stap; houdt het uit te breiden en in constante évolution.Avec wetenschappelijk bewijs om aan te tonen van de martial arts zijn vormen van lichaamsbeweging om mensen om gezond te blijven, mentale, fysieke, sociale en psychologische, we zouden kunnen denken meer martial arts zou zijn opgegroeid aan het Olympisch Stadion als een internationale gebeurtenis.

Hoe om te meten succes martial arts

Er zijn twee vormen van MMA bedrijf. Ten eerste, er zijn gezamenlijke workshop, martial arts, waar een vak man uniformen, tapijten, gordels en andere items voor mma kopen kan. Het is het deel "sell zachte" voor mma. Ik noem het "verkopen zachte" omdat het makkelijker om te verkopen deze producten aan artsen en degenen die al hebben besloten om te proberen te mixed martial arts. Gegenereerde winst mogelijk is voldoende voor de groei van de continuïteit van het bedrijf. Suggereert, dat het de lening overeenkomst, die zou worden die zoekt u en u op zoek bent naar hun. Dit scenario is het ideale bedrijf.

Dat is echter niet het geval voor het deel "verkopen harde" mixed martial arts. Dit is het hele schip. "Hard sell" is mixed martial arts marketing als een geheel nieuwe artsen die kan of mag nooit van gehoord. Dit is waar begint het harde werk. Hoe overtuigt u iemand om te proberen iets nieuws?Hoe wil u iemand die u niet weet dat er voor hun eigen bestwil? zal zijn dat u?

Het is dit laatste dat veel gedachte wordt gegeven aan het vinden van de beste marketing plan. School MMA is heel moeilijk om te plaatsen met name in het midden van een zogenaamde recessie. Spreken van de zogenaamde recessie, dit eigenlijk toegankelijk zijn op twee manieren: kan worden beschouwd als goed omdat de competitie minder zullen. Alleen een paar dares om te spelen met geld, immers een martial arts school bedrijf nog steeds blijft als een risico. Ten tweede, het kan slecht zijn voor het bedrijf omdat het een daling van de potentiële doel groep betekenen kan. Een belangrijke factor is het feit dat mixed martial arts is niet echt een noodzaak.Mensen kunnen leven zonder elle.Mais en vervolgens hersteld, mensen wonen meer mee. Rechts?

Daarom moet uw plan marketing martial arts school kunnen best rij den wat pessimist kan gooien op je. Als daarom wordt gevraagd. "Waarom moet ik mijn geld afval op het leren van mixed martial arts." Hoe zou u reageren?U kan niet mogelijk; zeggen "vanwege dit", en een demonstratie recht toen en daar uit te voeren." Niet alleen is het een lage respons, maar het is ook belachelijk. U wilt zien en voelen waarom.

Buiten dit bent niveau, en u het slechtste deel.Het mislukt, en gewoon van stoppen, bent u niet vervaardigd voor dit type van bedrijf.Een succesvolle originele martial arts om het grootste aantal studenten voor de dojo te verkrijgen is echter niet een garantie dat u met succes hebt.Zie dat de rug daling van mma is dat het zeer moeilijk in te schatten van het succes.

Aangezien het is niet een normale school, studenten niet afkomstig kunnen zijn van elk fois.Le ritme lessen niet afgeleverd kunnen worden onmiddellijk zodat een student met hun retard.Oui stop inhalen kan, krijg je een dankbaarheid maar risico verliezen het vertrouwen van andere. c ' is de reden waarom A - Z plannen moeten exister.Une handel martial arts school blijft zeer saisonnière.Solutions alternatief praktisch, voor het geval moet blijven.

Hoe om een bedrijf van martial arts

"What's really disturbing to me is how many martial arts instructors somehow feel they must "take a vow of poverty" to teach quality martial arts. The reality is the better you do at developing your students and creating a quality school the easier it becomes to make a living comparable to professionals with similar levels of training in any field." - Grandmaster Stephen Oliver, 8th Dan

This month Martial Arts School Owner interview one of the martial arts most outstanding individuals, 8th degree black belt, president and founder of Mile High Karate, Grand Master Stephen Oliver. From the outset of our meeting I realize it is more than just a lifetime's commitment to hard training and technical excellence that has enabled Grand Master Oliver to achieve so much in his career that has spanned well over thirty years. Perhaps it is the real passion that he has for providing high quality instruction to his students while providing an opportunity for his school owners and staff to make an incredible living and even going as far in his marketing campaign to boldly state that 'that each and every Black Belt ever developed at Mile High Karate has said the experience was not only worth $1,000,000.00 but literally was priceless!' Or is it his unwavering commitment to community projects such as Chuck Norris' 'Kick drugs out of America'? The answer is that Grand Master Oliver's success cannot be attributed to one particular factor in his career. He combines with ease all the savvy marketing and business techniques available to any business person, at the same time demonstrating the true attributes of a traditional martial arts instructor. So whatever stage you are at with your teaching there is something to learn from Grand Master Oliver. He's become the leading consultant in the field through his school owner's coaching program and his Mile High Karate schools are busy expanding internationally through Regional Developer "Master' franchises.

After graduating from high school Master Oliver moved to Washington D.C to take up further studies at Georgetown University, and to help pay for his education began teaching at a branch of the Jhoon Rhee Institute. However, it soon became clear that the way martial arts were being taught needed change. 'During the 1960's and 1970's in the United States the martial arts appealed most to a lower class of people who were primarily focused on fighting more effectively. Back in Texas and Oklahoma the contact rules in competition were really open to flexible interpretation.' It was clear to Grandmaster Oliver that if he was to open up his knowledge of martial arts to a wider audience, and build a sustainable martial arts school business he needed to curtail the 'blood and guts' attitude that had come to dominate the art in that early period. Over the years from his early teaching days at the university 'both the percentage of students graduating to Black Belt - and, their abilities when they get there have improved dramatically and also our students tend to be more highly educated as interested in the wider range of developmental benefits that the program offers.'

It was during this early period at university that Grandmaster Oliver began looking into the idea that his passion for the arts really could become his living. "In the early 1980's I was finishing up my college degree at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. I was a branch manager for the Jhoon Rhee Institute (which had 9 locations in Washington, D.C.). I thought I was going to go on to an MBA at Harvard or Stanford University then a career in a big corporation." When finishing up at Georgetown Grandmaster Oliver courted several of the worlds most recognized businesses such as Proctor & Gamble, IBM, and several Big Banks such as Chase Manhattan based in New York City. However, after thinking about that path as a career and looking at what he could earn out of college- he decided to put together an extensive business plan and move to Denver, Colorado to open a chain of martial arts schools. "My model was really the Jhoon Rhee Institute and when I moved I opened five schools in 18 months - with only about $10,000 in capital. I knew I was ridiculously undercapitalized but just did it anyway." Following his passion for the arts was something that would pay off in a big way and by the age of 25 he was the head of a million dollar operation.

He is however, the first to admit that over a thirty year career in the martial arts is hasn't been all plain sailing. "I clearly encountered many obstacles over the years. My biggest crisis was back in 1989 when I basically lost about 70% of my staff and went through a protracted divorce at the same time. It all coincided with the biggest economic collapse in the Colorado economy ever. That took several years to dig out of - and, led to me going back to get my MBA which was more for an emotional break than it was to really learn more stuff on how to run my business. Additionally, just the fortitude of character to pull through all of that and become highly successful again was an incredibly valuable experience." Yet through it all Grandmaster Oliver never lost sight of the passion and the drive to be innovative in the martial arts with his Mile High Karate school chain. "We have done several things that I believe are unusual. First, many of the organizations that try to expand nationally and internationally focus on one, sometimes two areas of the business but fail to really combine all of them." Adding that; "with my schools we've managed to support the individual schools by getting their billing, their accounting, and their payroll done for them by someone else."

Another key foundation of Mile High Karate is providing focused training programs on all three critical success factors that each school must focus on:

1.) Effective internal and external marketing systems

2.) Structured pricing systems and presentation processes to effectively enroll and upgrade students - much of it supported with automatic processes or incredibly effective sales tools

3.) Effective instructor training systems combined with scientifically and structured curriculum to ensure the highest possible quality of students. At the same time Grandmaster Oliver remains totally focused on instilling the core values and philosophies in the growing Mile High Karate chain, "the over-all culture of the organization is very important.

We really work to make sure that all of our staff and black belts are working interdependently. It's very important for everyone to always be "a product of the product" focusing on both high physical skill as well as achieving the highest level of mental and emotional mastery. We really focus on having every instructor and member of the organization always exhibiting the highest levels of integrity and success motivation."

During my time with Grandmaster Oliver, it was clear that apart from being a very talented martial artist and instructor, he is an individual that believes the path to success is through constant learning. Although fortunate to have had a university education and the opportunity for further formal training in various business disciplines, he firmly believes that anyone with the drive for further self improvement can achieve it; adding that "most formal education is about learning how to learn, not so much about learning anything specifically that is helpful as an entrepreneur or as a teacher. Over the years I have been very focused on continuing to pick a subject matter and either formally or informally educating myself to a very high level in areas that are practical and necessary for my continued success not just as a business person but as a martial arts school owner." Building one of the USA's most successful chains of martial arts schools has not been easy, and it has required some tough decisions along the way combined with sharp business acumen and he is quick to add that "I often get a reputation of focusing on the money -but that is not accurate.

We've developed an incredible martial arts organization with Jeff Smith and many other high quality Black Belts in the leadership hierarchy making sure we have the best possible Black Belts and provide a situation where school owners and their staff can equal or exceed their income opportunities from any other endeavor." Indeed the reality for Grandmaster Oliver is that the better you do at developing your students and creating a quality school the easier it becomes to make a living comparable to professionals with similar levels of training in any field.

Martial arts stijlen

There are countless martial arts styles from around the world, each with their own distinctive purpose and origin. In seeking out an effective means of self defense a potential student can look to a number of styles including Aikido, Kung fu, Kick Boxing, Mixed Martial Arts and Jujitsu. There are striking styles and grappling styles. There are sports and there are cultural fighting arts. Finding the right martial art, can take years, and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Someone interested in studying martial arts should have a general idea of the different martial art styles.

What Style of Martial Art is Best for You?

Start by asking yourself, do you want to compete or do you want self defense? Do you want to part of something more spiritual or more combative? Most schools offer a little of both, but you should know that the primary martial art style of the school sets the tone for the instruction. And if that primary martial art style is a sport or a cultural fighting art- it may seriously effect the self defense instruction.

Once you determine what you want to out of your training then it's time to begin your search. Remember, each martial arts style or system has its specific purpose. For example, the style of Ninjitsu emphasizes stealth and concealment for a trained assassin, and is little use for someone who is looking to get into shape and not get mugged leaving the mall. Boxing while being a great sport to know is limited to hand striking and is not well rounded, but will build strength and help someone lose weight. Taekwondo is a Korean style of martial arts which is a very popular sport, but lacks throws and grapples necessary to push back an attacker or take the fight to the ground. Mixed martial arts styles are good but are still bound by rules that re designed for safety.

Establishing what you want will make selecting a martial arts style much easier, and it shortens the long list of styles available for a student to learn. If you're just looking to lose weight the cardio kickboxing class at your neighborhood gym will probably be just what you need, but don't expect what you have learned in that class to help you against a mugger or rapist. Kendo is another great style that will teach you how to fight like a Japanese samurai, and is great for fitness, spirit and attitude but you will look a little out of place taking your training sword on the train with you to work. If you're interest is in self defense then you should look at combat oriented styles or systems that have been used in the industrial age. Aikido which was made popular by actor Steven Seagal is a fairly modern martial arts style. It is more about spiritual development than close combat. That old style of jujutsu may have worked against and armored samurai wielding a sword, but against a street thug wielding a box cutter it might not work so well.

Martial Arts and Self Defense
Studying a martial art or a combat sport is a lifestyle that requires a lot of time, training and dedication. Self defense however, is a skill, once understood, can remain effective long after you have stopped training. While most people don't want to dedicate the time towards martial arts, every person should take a little time to learn basic self defense techniques.

It doesn't matter what you seek of a martial art whether its fitness, self defense or even the desire to compete in a new sport it is time to begin your research. Resources are abounding on the Internet and in books at your local library. This will let you sort through the hype and get to the history.

A WORD OF WARNING

BEWARE OF THE INVENTOR OF A SYSTEM

There is a persistent myth that all martial arts styles are a product of ancient wisdom and are time tested. This is not always the cases with many styles like Yoseikan which takes many elements from more established styles like Judo and Jujutsu and others and has become its own style. Also be wary of anyone who says they've invent their own style that is superior to the rest. Just because a person has bounced a few years or was a cop or a soldier, doesn't mean they know what works best for you or even how to teach it. What is taught in the military and in the police academies is based on a liability perspective (public perception- we don't want our peace keepers to be too violent).

Most effective martial arts styles are a result of groups of people working together with the head of that organization usually getting the credit. Jigoro Kano is credited for founding that style, but he was helped by the Japanese government and the "Four Pillars of Judo" Tomita, Saigo, Yamashita and Yokoyama. Close quarters combat systems, lie those from the self defense company are a result of years of training and decades of research. It is impossible for one man to have the experience and the knowledge to dictate what works for everyone. Bruce Lee himself did not set out to establish a style or a system, but more of a way of thinking. How he trained was what worked best for him. How he thought was best for everybody.

Most founders have extensive training and backgrounds and black belt ranks in multiple, established martial arts styles. The lack of government regulation (especially in the united states) has no restriction on what is taught. It's up to you to find out the who, what, when and where.

This Ain't Hollywood

Also when choosing a martial arts style don't use films as your guide even if a competent martial artist is involved with making the film. Film is entertainment. What you see on screen must evoke the right feeling and the right "look". Fights on film are designed to entertain. If you think you are walking into a room full of bikers intent of killing you and you're going to defeat them all without a scratch- then I have a "bridge to sell you". But if acting is your thing, then yes go learn how to fight like "The Matrix". A system of Kung fu may be the martial arts style you're looking for.

At the end of the day, anyone can make their style sound good, but unless they have documented proof and some sort of lineage don't waste your time. Remember, once you decide, your research doesn't stop there. If there is some sort of intro program or "test drive" take advantage and ask yourself "Is this what I'm looking for?" and "Does this make sense to me?" Don't be disrespectful, but don't assume the person is an expert just because they say so. Listen to your instinct and you will be able to determine what martial art style is best for you.

Martial arts vechten stijlen - an introduction

Martial arts fighting styles are many and varied with not only techniques but principles, cultures and philosophical approaches varying widely.

One of the difficulties in classifying fighting styles is that there is no definite consensus on what is the definition of a true martial arts fighting style.

For the purpose of this article I will use the definition of a martial arts fighting style as any system or methodology pertaining to fighting and combat situations, as this complies with the dictionary definition of the terms martial and art.

Some "authorities" would argue that they must originate from Asian cultures; an opinion that does not take into account the fighting systems of ancient Greece or Europe and their modern derivations.

From a general perspective martial arts styles can be separated into those that emphasize the use of weapons, those that concentrate on striking and those that emphasize grappling techniques.

This is only a very general classification as many systems combine two or more of these classifications and although many commentators would argue that a true martial art requires the use of all of these aspects of fighting that is not the case with many of the accepted martial arts disciplines.

Systems of martial arts fighting styles have evolved from the fighting techniques and methods used by warriors throughout the world and can be as diverse as full systems taught in schools of military training to
systems of fighting developed and kept within families.

It is only in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that we see the systematically taught instruction of styles that we see today, evolved.

Many of these systems have lost their practical fighting ability to the so called meditative aspects of the particular art or have been completely turned into just sports.

Some martial arts fighting styles have only appeared within the last 100 years and have never been exposed to the rigorous selection of real fighting that their predecessors underwent.

In the weaponry rich systems we find the Japanese systems of Kendo, Kenjutsu, Iaido, Jodo together with the Karate weaponry systems derived from the Kobudo weapons systems. Striking and grappling is either absent or very poorly developed in all of these systems.

The Chinese arts also utilize many weapons as part of their Kung Fu systems but these are taught as part of unarmed combat systems as well.

Probably the richest weapons systems are those of the Philipines and nearby areas of Malaysia and Indonesia; the blade and stick-fighting systems of Kali, Escrima and Arnis. These fighting systems also have a very complex and powerful unarmed combat components, together with the weapons and some also utilize throwing and ground fighting, these systems were very much family trained systems.

The Europeans also have the quarter-staff, sword and dagger systems which were extremely well developed and if you want to accept the definition that martial arts fighting styles are systems and methods of war and fighting then you would also have to include the disciplines of modern firearm and bayonet usage in this classification.

The striking systems are probably the most well known and most practiced through out the world with the Karate system of Japan being the most well known. There are many different styles of Karate each having slightly different emphasis on different methodologies and while most include some form of weaponry at higher levels it is certainly not well developed and doesn't have a practical realistic usage, apart from exercise and strengthening value which is normally the justification for using them as part of their systems. Much of it is drawn from the Kobudo group of weapons and has lost a lot of it's functionality in ritual.

The most powerful striking martial art would be Muay Thai and its' close cousin Burmese boxing; these striking systems are extremely well developed and deliver strikes with incredible speed, power and ferocity.

Brazilian Capoiera is a very acrobatic striking style that has lost much of its practical fighting ability that existed in the original African system from which it was derived. A similar situation is demonstrated by the Chinese martial art of Wushu which has become very flashy and demonstrates little practical fighting ability.

Do we include western boxing in martial arts? I think that we should because it fulfills much the same requirements of Judo as a martial art. It has suffered the change of time in placing rules on it but in the past it was certainly more brutal then it is now.

It carries its' own philosophy and that introduces me to the argument that a martial art should have an underlying philosophy a point that I definitely agree with, however, who is anyone to say that the philosophies by which we westerners do things are not as valid as the philosophies of the eastern cultures.

Modern wrestling is in the same genre being derived from the ancient Pankration and now controlled by rules but again it was originally used for fighting and had and still has a distinct philosophy behind it.

Now we come to the self defence systems of Close Quarter Combat and Krav Maga again these would fit the classification of a martial art as set down by the other determinants. This is even though Krav Maga does not claim to be one, but one only has to read the original intent of its' founder to determine that it is a martial art.

The striking arts of the malaysian, philipino and indonesian area are also vey well developed with the silats demonstrating a very complex and rich understanding of fighting principles and concepts.

The fighting styles that emphasize grappling include Judo, Jiu jitsu, Aikido and sumo from Japan together with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Chin Na from China. Here we find the strongest support for the argument that some of the systems I have classified as martial arts above should be included.

If you are to remove boxing and wrestling from the classification of martial arts then you have to remove Sumo and Judo as well.

Russian Sambo, American Catch, Free-style and Greco-Roman wrestling are fighting systems that exist on that fringe of the classification are usually classified as a sport.

The richest of the martial arts fighting styles are the muti-discipline martial arts such as Ninjutsu and the Chinese Kungfus although the latter has many different styles with most only emphasizing one or two aspects of fighting.

The most dominant fighting system at the present time is Mixed Martial Arts. This together with its' inspiration from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Vale Tudo is the biggest thing that has happened to martial arts since Bruce Lee.

There are those that would argue it is not a martial art - in my opinion this is completely absurd it has all of the requirements apart from the use of weapons, but neither do many of the other accepted fighting disciplines.

The philosophy is a western style of philosophy of mental toughness and training discipline and, I say again, what is so different about that and eastern philosophies. Particularly as we see eastern philosophic driven societies demonstrating anti-humanistic and anti-environment practices throughout the modern world many of which are driven by the philosophies of Sun Tzu and the Go Rin No Sho as underlying guides.

This article is by no means a complete account of all fighting systems as almost every country around the world has a fighting system as part of its' culture each having evolved as time has gone by and lifestyles have changed that in turn has led to us utilizing the values of martial arts for different reasons.

Geoff owns and operates a full time professional Martial Arts Academy in Christchurch, New Zealand that teaches people of all ages, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts and a weaponry program that includes Philipino stick and knife fighting, kenjutsu and Jojitsu.

INTRODUCTION

There are many reasons why a person might decide to turn up at your dojo and have a go at the martial arts, and it is important that we try and identify these in order to establish exactly what the potential student is looking for, and whether or not your art is going to give it to them.

IDENTIFYING NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS

So, why has that particular person just come into the Dojo? What is it that makes them come to you? What is their particular motivation?

These are all very good questions to be asking your self, but it is even more important to actually ask the learners themselves rather than allowing yourself to make any "knee-jerk" judgments or decisions for them, and jumping to any conclusions.

Indeed, having preconceptions about learners can be extremely misleading indeed, and can cause no end of problems later on. I remember one particular instructor boasting proudly that one of his students happened to be an officer in the Royal Marines Reserve. "That's good" I said, "Why is he here?" At this question, my colleague looked both shocked and amused "He's here to learn how to fight, off course!" he said, rather indignantly.

Now, without wanting to "burst any ones bubble", I think its fair to say that an officer in the Royal Marines might already know something about fighting, and certainly wouldn't need any advice from the local martial arts club down the road! ("I'm off to a war zone next month, and was wondering if you could help me out.....," NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!) On closer examination, it turned out that this individual was researching certain aspects of Japanese culture as part of his Masters degree! He had come to the class in order to learn something about classical martial arts, and the instructor (thanks to him jumping to conclusions) had him in a corner doing pistol disarming! (Good differentiation, but completely inappropriate)

The fellow was far too polite to say anything, and was just persevering patiently in the hope that they would eventually get to practice some more traditional techniques as the class progressed!

This happens all the time within the martial arts fraternity, simply because we don't bother to find out what the prospective learner is looking for in the first place! As instructors, we should never take anything for granted: Simply because a person happens to wonder in to your club on a training night doesn't necessarily mean that they know anything about what your doing, or even have an actual interest in martial arts. (That reminds me of another story, when a young lady entered a dojo and was immediately told by the instructor to get on the mat and warm up. She took part in the whole lesson (it was a beginners class) and, when asked at the end what she thought of it she said she had enjoyed it quite a lot, but actually only came in because she thought the aerobics class took place on that particular night!)

Take some time out to talk to them, put one of your senior students in charge for a few moments, walk over, and introduce yourself! This will help to make both you (as one of those creatures of legend "The Black Belt") and your club far more approachable and accommodating, and will immediately impress upon the visitor that you DO consider them to be important and DO care about them.

Usually, they will volunteer a certain amount of information regarding their background and expectations such as: "I used to do karate when I was younger, and just thought I would pop in an have a look" etc.

But, you should also ask them some questions as well in order to clarify any important points, and enable you to get some idea of what they are after and build up a picture of their expectations.

Some of the possible reasons for people wanting to learn the martial arts are as follows:

- Self Defense.

With crime on the increase, this is probably the most common reason for most people considering taking up the martial arts, as they feel it will at least give them a "fighting chance" if they are ever unfortunate enough to be attacked.

- Physical Fitness

People are being encouraged to take more of an interest in their well-being these days, and the martial arts provide them with the opportunity of building up their levels of stamina, strength, and suppleness by providing a good "all round" workout.

- Sport

Many martial arts such as Judo, Kickboxing and Kendo are very lively and established sports offering participants the chance of competing at club, local, national and international levels. And this supplies a very healthy outlet for the competitive spirit.

- Philosophical

The martial arts have, over the period of centuries been influenced by a great many different religions and philosophies, and all have left their particular mark. This is particularly the case with the softer, Japanese arts of Aikido, Iaido and Kyudo, and the internal Chinese martial arts of Tai Chi, Pa Kua and Hsing-Yi.

- Cultural

Martial arts are extremely rich in history, tradition and customs. As such, they will tend to appeal to people who are interested in these particular aspects of human behaviour, be that just a casual curiosity or even an academic study.

-Psychological

Again, martial arts are superb tools for building up a person's confidence and self-esteem, and are also brilliant at controlling stress levels. Some schools even include relaxation and meditation techniques, and both of these have become quite fashionable in recent times.

- Social

Martial artists tend to train hard and play hard, and some clubs have a very lively social scene whereby they organize trips and outings. This helps to build up the "camaraderie" amongst the students, as well as helping to break down the barriers that can sometimes exist between junior and senior grades.

There are, off course, many more reasons why a person chooses to commence training in the martial arts, but the above are the main ones. And it will, more often than not, be one or more of these that is the "prime motivator" for the majority of people.

As well as having an initial chat with these prospective students, you could also employ other strategies to help you clarify their ideas and needs, such as giving them a short questionnaire which they could take away, fill in and bring back when they officially enroll.

CONCLUSION

Identifying student's needs and expectations as quickly and efficiently as possible enables the instructor to:

1- Ensure that what he/she is teaching IS actually what the prospective student is looking for (You will need to be brutally honest here. For example, it would be completely inappropriate for someone wanting to learn self defense to enroll in an Iaido class, just as a person wanting to experience meditation might be a bit disappointed if they ended up a student in a kick boxing class, etc. It is the instructor's responsibility to consider the welfare of this person, and to guide them in their choice. Rather than simply regarding them as yet another training fee!)

2- It will enable the instructor to gain valuable insight into the background and aspirations of the individual and, (if and when appropriate) to modify their syllabus, resources and teaching methodology to accommodate these efficiently.

Jumping to conclusions about what your students want, on the other hand, is both patronizing and condescending and can be an extremely effective method of putting people of studying martial arts for good!
