Instructor Academy – Karate Teaching, Leadership and the Passing On of Knowledge in the 21st Century
25 modules on teaching karate: how a good karateka becomes a good instructor, and how knowledge is passed on to the next generation.
This book examines the complete development system of karate teaching: from technical knowledge, through learning and teaching, to leadership, mentoring and the passing on of knowledge across generations.
The models presented provide a professional framework that is independent of any organisation. Their aim is not to make organisations uniform, but to make knowledge accessible, open to examination, applicable and open to further development.
The book distinguishes three levels: universal principles of teaching and leadership; their application to karate; and – where necessary – solutions specific to a style. Respect for tradition and independent professional thinking are not opposites, but parts of the same path of development.
The 25 modules lead from motor learning, lesson planning and error correction, through teaching Kihon, Kata, Kumite and Goshin Jitsu, to safety, preparing competitors, mentoring and running a dojo.
