i am a 5 kyu and have been given permission to start an aikido class with some friends of mine who can not make it to regular class. what would be a good way to start out?|||1. find a place cheap. Same place your coach trains is the best idea. especially if you come undder his insurance.
2. make sure everyone is insured for public liability whatever they call it in your state, and preferably medical insurance too. Get them to sign something in this regard, regarding their mdeical health. Does not cost much for people to do this individually and saves a lot of hassles.
-Strange things can happen to even the best of friends if someone accidentally dislocates a shoulder and loses their job, or maybe house/wife from the time off.
The training-
3. Write down your objectives on a peice of paper. What you want from doing this. Your goals, long term, small scale/large, spiritual, health wise financial anything important to you.
4.What you think they want from it.
5.What things you think they you can offer them, include things that no one else can offer them that you can(even your sensei) even if that is just %26#039;more convenient training times%26#039; . Be specific.
6. Create a lesson plan for each lesson.
7. Rehearse it before you do it, get it playing in your head during the day, enjoy it, you are the star and this is where you will receive your sudden inspiration tapping into your subconcious like this.
8.Start training. Ask for feedback from your students, but remember the final choice rests with you.|||If you were given permission from your instructor perhaps you you should ask him. Since he knows you better and the fact that he is an %26quot;Aikido instructor%26quot; in the first place. But the idea of a white belt teaching anybody any thing is disturbing to me and makes me wonder about the quality of your instructor. That is not ment to be an insult to you and your willingness to help others, but I think a person should %26quot;KNOW%26quot; what they are doing before they are allowed to teach. I wish you luck anyway.|||I just googled %26#039;aikido ranking system%26#039; so I could have a better idea of where you are in the kyu grades.
1. It%26#039;s great that your sensei gave you permission. Don%26#039;t let it get to your head. Be a pest, ask your sensei for advice. Make sure your sensei knows everything you do, from what time you have your class to who%26#039;s in the class to what you%26#039;re going over for each and every class. I%26#039;m going to assume you%26#039;ve got limited experience instructing others- it takes a while to learn how to teach/lead a group. According to the googled info, by my standards and experience teaching your rank means you have extremely limited experience in your system. Be extremely careful.
2. Ask your sensei if you can use the dojo, and if the answer is no, you%26#039;ll need to find a place where you have enough room to throw and be thrown. I suggest finding a place without a concrete floor :). Yes, I know what it%26#039;s like to fall on concrete.
3. Ask a dan to attend your classes every once in a while, you will learn more and so will your friends.
4. Insurance. Make sure you are insured. Ask your sensei if your activity can be covered under the dojo%26#039;s existing liability insurance. It would totally suck to hurt/lose your friends and be sued on top of that.
5. Continue attending your own classes! You do not have anything near the amount of knowledge needed yet. If you%26#039;re serious about this you will continue learning and earning all the kyu grades into the dan ranks.|||i wouldnt start out by buying/renting a studio cuz it might not be sucessful, i would just start out be teaching in ur own garage and possibly if u have the time, win at least one award for aikido so u can get some reputation once u get more students i would maybe teach at a community center where the city gets part of ur tution earnings
