Shaolin Wing Chun Assistant Instructor Training Program
Excellence in Assistant Teaching
The purpose of this program is to develop a cadre of highly trained, competent assistant instructors, who are empowered with an understanding of
- Positive teaching techniques
- High-functioning communication skills
- Effective skills and drills to keep classes interesting and exciting
- Tools to improve attendance and enhance retention,
And most importantly:
- Developing the Winning Attitude Necessary to be a Successful and Effective Martial Arts Assistant Instructor, and to be a Happy, Healthy, Safe, Wealthy and Wise Human Being, able and capable of lighting the flame of positive energy within themselves and others
The Assistant Instructors developed through this course are recognized and qualified to teach within a local school and are well-prepared to excel in the complete Shaolin Wing Chun Instructor Certification Program. For more details on that program, click here. AI program graduates are not yet fully qualified to start or teach within their own club or school.
In the past, instructor training usually consisted of finding a good technician and saying, “here is your class, teach it." Being a good technician, although important, is not the main factor in becoming a good instructor.
The First and SINGLE MOST important quality in an instructor is a Positive Attitude! If you don't enjoy what you are doing, your students won't want to stay around you for very long.
Second is skill – not just skill in the proper execution of martial art techniques, but in the ability to teach and motivate yourself and others.
In the martial arts as an industry, and in our martial art family and school in particular, our product is two-fold:
- Developing the ability in ourselves and others to be Happier, Healthier, Safer, Wealthier, and Wiser (so we, and others, have it!)
- Developing the ability in ourselves and others – to teach the ability to develop these skills to others (so we, and others, know how to develop Happiness, Health, Safety, Wealth, and Wisdom in ourselves and others)
This program is specifically designed to help you develop yourself by:
- Highlighting the proper attitude in an instructor such as modesty, courtesy, respect, perseverance, an indomitable spirit, commitment, hard work, optimism, gratitude, playfulness, curiosity, patience, self-control, self-discipline, self-confidence and more
- Defining, developing, and refining proper teaching methods ranging from “how to structure a class for maximum effectiveness," to “how to motivate students of all ages and attitudes," to “how to utilize training aids more efficiently for more exciting classes"
- Highlighting key details in techniques, drills, personal motivation, communication, character development lectures, etc.
