Teaching Children the Martial Arts

Teaching any martial art is an important and worthwhile thing to do. When you are teaching children, it is even more so. There is a psychology involved that may not always be apparent to you, the child or their parents. In Teaching Children the Martial Arts I aim to show you how to break down communication barriers so that you can help a child to learn and develop properly. Inside the pages, you will find detailed information, for both instructors and parents, teaching you the techniques which will bring about success for all those involved, with chapters offering: * Ideas and guidelines for talking to the child and the parents * Tips for working with special needs children * Ideas to promote practice and keep children on track * Body language suggestions and ideas * How to overcome that black belt "wall" * The principles to adhere to and avoid * Working with auditory, visual and kinesthetic children * Dealing with children who want to quit * Resolving confrontations * And much more... This is not a book filled with martial arts instruction. It is a powerful tool which can be used in conjunction with those instructions, to give you a more rounded understanding of the children who want to learn these fascinating arts. Let Teaching Children the Martial Arts be an inspiration and motivation. Let it lead to that spark of change in you
