Good instrutor

A question asked alot

What makes a good instructor ? Now many people have there own ideas and views on What makes a good instructor and how they archived it. My views on this are a good instructor has Knowledge and experience and years of training behind him. Also is patient with his students and is there to answer questions and listen to them
I think of some more but thats a start

I also think a good instructor needs to be a bit of an extrovert.

To stand in front of people and motivate them into doing something in an enjoyable way needs a bit of 'showboating'.

I have been to seminars where very senior ranks are introvert. They come accross as uncertain and you end not to enjoy what they are trying toshow you.

I think if you see people with smils on they're face when you are teaching...then your on the right track

totally mate
you hit the nail on the head
we need to be almost evangalistic and larger than life .
you MUST believe in what you say and be able to demonstrate effectively.

i love my classes to be almost like a show ( spose i'd be the clown lol)

also with a story and theme , i plan my classes to a T

i'm just about to do a variety show ( yep thats right i am a whore)

the plan is this
i have a mate , a good little swords man , so he is gunna go a kata/form
and when i come on ( at the end of his piece) to introduce the next piece i will be talking away to the crowd then ( by suprise lol) i will be attacked randomly by 8 guy's ( my students) the finarly will be a baseball bat attack and i shall kick thru it ( the bat that is).
then return ( clam as a hindu cow) to introduceing the next act ( as if nothing happend ).
thought it would be fun and different .
nowt to do with the topic just me rambling again .......... sorry

cheers

The thing that helps to is the instructor has to be reliable and always turn up to his class or if can not attend get a good replacement instructor.
