For any and all people who wish to instruct in the first Martial Talk Seminar. Your Deadline is July 10 after that I do not plan on taken any more people on for instructors. I am trying on getting a outline of how the event will be ran. Every day someone else is wanting to help teach. For the event to run smoothly and for all the instructors to get some time on the floor I must have a deadline. We are planning on a two day event with 7 different instructors right now and have 11 hours to fill. That is about an hour or so for each teacher. There will be some after hours get toether to run ideas, techniques, theories by each other on Friday and Saturday Night. For those interested in instructing please email/PM me ASAP.
Thanks to all hope this is one of the best events of the year!

If you end up with a boatload of instructors, you could have 2 instructors teach simultaneously (at two different "stations" - if you've got the room to set 2 training areas up) and have each instructor teach 2 hours, then lay out the schedule so that people can see each instructor at least once. I've seen a couple of others run this way and it seems to work OK.
So, for instance, with 6 instructors (a, b, c, d, e, f):
a & b teach the 1st hour
c & d teach 2nd hour
e & f teach 3rd hour
a & c teach the 4th hour
b & f teach the 5th hour
d & e teach the 6th hour
Just something to consider if you end up with too many instructors.
Mike
I can back out in deference to my instructor Tim Hartman if this becomes a problem.

Some of the best seminars I have been to are where you have a choice, so Pesilat's idea is really appealing, floor space permitting. And regarding adequate floor space, I have an old grainy video of Ueshiba teaching Aikido in a tiny room packed with students like sardines. Small spaces can work out just fine.
One thing that really makes this work is to have an initial session where each instructor demos their ideas up front, quickly (5 minutes per instructor), and then the students have some idea of what they will be learning. For this to work well, I recommend all students getting a paper schedule right up front, so they can record what they like, and then take some time to plan which they would attend when.
I have three issues that should be considered. First, there are some who want to do some takedowns, and mats would be helpful. So you might want to consider the logistics of this as well (mats vs. wood floor).
Second, it might be wise to take a poll of what out-of-town visitors can attend on Sunday. Unfortunately I can't since I have to travel nearly 24 hours each way on a Greyhound, so I am limited to Saturday only.
Finally, for those considering weapons, please make sure you bring enough for us novices. Thanks.

I'd prefer not to see it go to two instructors at a time. For one thing, recall that the event is in a rural area--attendance may not be high enough to justify it.

I have several options we can choose. People who can't make it on Sunday will teach on Saturday. If we have a butt load of instructors I will bow out myself. I may have too many irons in the fire already. Would like to be able to show case some of my stuff.
Option 1 has already been mention. Have 2 instructors teach at the same time. Have a rotating schedual.
Option 2 Instructors divided by # of hours we have= time per instructors
Option 3 Pick a drill, technique, or self defense and get different ideas from each instructor.
I will know more after thursday when the deadline is past for the instructors to sign up.

Some of you guys are teaching weapons and or disarms with or against weapons. Should students byow thats short for bring your own weapon. I figure the answer is yes but wanted to make sure.

This usually is the case.
If someone had some Rattan or training knives to seel I am sure they could bring them and them the students could use these.
Just what I have seen previously.

And for something I read on the CanAm Site :
What is common between these two posts?
Jerome Barber is teaching at both.
I find it poor taste that the good Ed D. can have people post for him here on MT, and yet he cannot contact the seminar host, nor anyone here about this event and or his other engagements.
Very poor taste in my mind.
