A PATH TO FORWARDS THINKING AND GREATER STUDENT POTENTIAL

                  THE SENSITIVITY INSTRUCTION PROGRAMME

                                                 A Martial Arts way, an award of people progression.

Amidst the complexity’s that clearly are the Martial Arts, we will see that there are these definable individuals that can physically, technically, mentally and confidently orally communicate there Martial Art to a ready awaiting public.  Yet I ponder how is this so, for we see that in the beginning these select individuals had little but an eagerness to want to learn, no confidence, no communicative quality’s other than friendship from a need to want to know, the hows, whys and wherefores. 

Analytically I would draw from the unity that is the Martial Arts of the mind, spirit and body mel that can invoke positive assertiveness to progress to a higher plateau of self-development.  But to state that a Black Belt is necessarily a great instructor, I would state, I think not, development in this particular field can substantiate good instructors from indeed bad ones.  A good one believes in what they do what they teach and work on how they promote it to their students.  They take their time and are positive to instruct it with passion, with feeling.  The others quite simply have not.  A question imposes itself whose gym will be the fullest?  Whom would you want to learn from?
