Class Planners and how to be a black belt
We've organized every single class from the time a student begins until the time that they earn their 4th degree black belt. This includes Tiny Tiger students, ATAfit students, and Leadership Classes. I feel that with this structure, the parents will be more involved in practicing with the kids and will even join the class themselves.
In addition to that, I've asked a few parents what would help them practice at home better. Most said, "If you come home with me and work out with my son." Well, I'm not going to do that with everyone but what I'll start to do is creating a 1 or 2 minute training video on "what to practice tonight." This will create a plan so that you can practice for 20-30 minutes, know the actual techniques to practice, and have a world champion plan.
The disconnect here is that many parents don't check their emails - those parents aren't even reading this. Some have facebook and haven't "liked" ATA Elkton. Some just don't pay attention. To keep your child involved long-term, train with them! Stay tuned to get all the training for next cycle!
Here are some of our Overviews and How each student can get their stripes next cycle:
Here's what the color belts are DOING
Here's how you can earn your STRIPES - remember stripe 1 is week 2, stripe 2 is week 4, strike 3 is week 6. Share that goal with your son or daughter!
Here's what the First Degrees are DOING - We're starting from cycle 1
Here are some CHECKPOINTS, use these just like the color belt stripes(for 1st Degrees)
Here's what the Second Degrees are DOING - we're starting from cycle 4
Here are some CHECKPOINTS, use these just like the color belt stripes (for 2nd Degrees)
For third degrees, there will be a check points sheet and a list of midterms coming soon, for now, use the 2nd degree one but switch out 2nd degree form with 3rd degree form since the requirements will be the same, only at a higher skill level.
