The skills and drills you are about to learn and teach are TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the other modules.
Communicate to the families that everyone will benefit from this module. You may want to offer for non-students to take the module for $100 or so. Either way, at least invite them to watch the 8 classes.
You can invite the students to come to class in their regular clothes provided they are similar to what they would wear to the gym or to school.
No jewelry. Be careful of nails scratching.
Your presentation of this is CRITICAL. Students must work at school zone speed unless you say otherwise.
This is a different world from martial arts, and one of the key success factors is your ability to ignite the energy in the class.
You want to play the fine line between creating adrenaline in the class and scaring them.
Much of that has to do with your word patter, volume, and tone.
Run the self-defense classes with a shorter, lighter warm-up of jumping jacks, shadow boxing, push-ups, and sit-ups.
While they are doing the exercises, discuss any or all of the following:
1. Review what they have learned so far in terms of soft skills, not physical skills. TPM, Soft Targets, How Bad Guys Choose a Victim etc.
2. Discuss a local crime and analyze it for them and with their input. This is important as their analysis of the crime will change through the module.
3. Preview what is going to happen in this class.
