The 3 Critical Mistakes that Krav Maga Instructors Make in their Class!
Having spent the last 15 years teaching and travelling to various Krav Maga Schools around the world, I have discovered 3 critical mistakes that most Instructors make when teaching their lessons.
- They teach too much, too soon.
- They integrate too many solutions to too many problems.
- They focus too much on ‘negative teaching’ – The ‘worse-case scenario’ type training.
Typically, these mistakes have a significant negative impact on both the students’ progress, and the growth of the school in the following 3 ways…
- By teaching too much, the school loses students, as they feel overwhelmed and incompetent.
- The instructor therefore constantly feels frustrated, as the students fail to remember techniques from the previous lesson. The instructor starts to lose their passion, and teaching becomes more of a chore than a choice.
- The end result is the business suffers, the instructor is always thinking about getting new students, and is less focused on the current students. The school becomes all about the ‘newbies’, the current students feel neglected, and look to other schools or other systems.
During my travels, when I have direct and honest conversations with instructors, the truth of the matter is...
They put themselves under pressure through not having a structured approach to creating lessons.
They feel they have to over deliver, each week, each day and each lesson. This is not sustainable and leads to instructor burn out!
Students become aware that the instructor is ‘making it up on the spot’, which loses respect from the students (and students gossip to each other!)
What do the most successful Krav Maga Schools do?
The most successful Krav Maga Schools in the world have a systematic and structured approach to their curriculum and lesson plans and how they are delivered.
However, many instructors struggle when creating lesson plans as they take a long time to create. Or they get ‘writers block’ on what to include in each lesson and focus too much on making the next lesson more unique than the previous one. This creates confusion. It does not create skills.
It is often said that simplicity is genius!
Having personally trained 100’s of new Krav Maga Instructors, it is not their technical skills that are the issues, it’s their inability to understand WHAT students actually need, compared to what the Instructor THINKS that they need.
The two are often very (very) different!
Imagine never having to worry about what to teach in a lesson again?
