Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on decades of experience, and with the input of such legends as Richard Norton and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, The Art of Teaching Martial Arts is a must-have for any serious teacher of the martial arts. From designing a curriculum to teaching methodologies to a discussion of the very real costs inherent in the teaching of martial arts, TAoTMA is a one-of-a-kind volume that encompasses every aspect of the creative art known as teaching. Designed for beginning instructors, for seasoned teachers, even for students who wish to gain insight into the ways they can learn better, TAoTMA stands alone as an encyclopedic look at teaching - the hows, the whys, and the how-tos. If you are an instructor looking to learn, a teacher striving to get to the "next level" of teaching competence, or even just a curious student interested in learning more about the teaching of martial arts, then The Art of Teaching Martial Arts is one volume you cannot do without.
