As stated in today's class, it is the individual student's responsibility to practice what they are taught. If they do not, then they will find themselves left behind. This is not done out of meanness but to reinforce that students must do their "homework". This way they can advance and earn the opportunity to learn new material. It is not fair that the class as a whole is held back because a few individuals do not strive to move ahead in their training. Because I strive to be a fair instructor, I will not allow those that do not practice hold back those that do. With that said, a number of students will be doing a lot of remedial training in class while those that have earned it will move on ahead to new material.
It's expected that everyone do their best in their karate training. This will transfer over to the rest of one's life and help build good work ethic as a habitual way of life and not only doing good work on an as needed basis.
Hope to see many of you on Saturday for the children and adult's classes.
