Circuit training (^^)

The class is getting quite large and increasing difficult to teach effectively all my self. It isn't too bad when Yachiyo is able to assist but her presence is dictated by her work, She couldn't make it to practice today. A full class is 31 kids and adults. Today three were absent. We do our sonoba kihon in a circle so I can see everyone and input in my mind what needs to be corrected. But there needs to be a venue to be able to go one on one so that the corrections can be effectively conveyed.
Thus, the circuit system.  The adults are coming along fine and several are capable of helping the Pokemons (kids). It offers the opportunity to check their own kihon and also start learning the basics of sharing their knowledge with kids. Teaching exposes them to their own weaknesses. Jita Kyoei, together we flourish, a win/win situation.
I've uploaded some parts of the practice tonight. Once I edit more, hopefully I an upload more scenes. Some are funny to say the least.  There were five posts today; front kick led by Michael; Seiken Ago Tsuki led by Yukari; Seiken Chudan Tsuki led by Yukiko; Jodan Uke led by Hiroshi.  All five are parents of kids in the class.

Kids always enjoy having someone different teach them. A break from grouchy Sensei!
Gahahahaha. The adults got a taste of the challenges of leading the kids! Y(^^)Y

 

3 and 4 yrs olds are always fun to watch and a challenge to teach! (^^)
