I ask questions about them to understand about them self and why they are thinking about joining Karate, you will be surprised how many people it is hard for me to make them stop talking, when they come to my dojo, I great them with respect with out losing my posture, Humble but polite.

When I teach I push them to do their best and the best part is I make them feel they want to push them self and train hard, I give a pat on their back for training hard in front of the whole class, when they do mistakes, I call them in to my office and advice them individually.\

First impression is important, but when you teach your intention is to make a difference in your students life that is important, Like they say, ” PEOPLE DO NOT CARE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE”

Train Hard, put your students first always and remember that Karate is not about teaching your student to Kick or Punch, Karate is not about teaching your students to Block or defend, Karate is teaching your student how to prevent. Until next time.

In Budo,

Sensei Sriram
