That reminds me of the old cartoon of Hercules. The guy with the strength of 10 ordinary men. I was always wondering why didn't 11 guys get together and beat the cr@p out of him?

The reason the set night was initiall established was because I forsee myself missing classes in the near future. I wanted my upper belts to be able to step into fill the void. I usually do not have the class spar the entire hour. There are only a few of us that can go like that, the rest start to drop after about 40 minutes. The Kenpo Dodge ball seems to be working, time to come up with something else. I'm thinking Kenpo Chess or Checkers next.
I do try and break up the classes somewhat, but with the amount of material we are trying to get across, I don't want to take away from that either.

Tess,
Glad you and the class enjoyed the latest "technique"/concept introduction. You gots da power, my arms still hurts, now for finess in delivering it.
Did Seig try it on you during class????????
I saw BillyStang & Chronus getting kinda "blurred" across the floor by Seig using it in practical application.
Chronus ALMOST has the DiGiorno Stuffed Crust shuffle down as good as 'Stangboy does :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: look our for those two guys once its mastered.
Monopoly????? with full size cars?? bevies of gals :ladysman:

Do any of you ever get where you don't WANT to go train on a
specific day, yet when you get there, and start doing it, you're
motivated just as hard as the first day you walked on to the mat?
I think I've made it obvious here that I'm overweight. Now I can
make a million excuses as to WHY it happened, but I wont bore
you. Bottom line, I'm trying HARD to change it. Yet on training
days at my school, I drag my *** in there, the first day, in a bit
of a protest (after taking the weekend off) .. but after that day,
I'm all fired up for the week. PLEASE tell me I'm not alone in this.

I sometimes suffer from that. After work, I have to do everything in my power to keep from taking a nap, else I'll sleep right through class. Even if I feel bad, once I actually get into class, I cheer right up. Then *after* class I have ten times the energy, and I have to make an effort to calm down for the night's sleep ^_^
I think it is pretty common to have a hard day at work or school then drag yourself to class ... as a student. This does not change when you are an instructor, but you have to generate the right energy for the class.
Sports psychologist say that students remember what it feels like at the end of class. If this is worn out, dog tired, or hurt ... that is what they feel and associate with the workout, regardless of what other good stuff you did prior to this. The intellect knows better, but the "feeling" or kinesthetic experience is what the body "remembers".
Try something a little different: Start out warming up, semi-aerobic to full aerobic (trainer phase), taper off during the "teaching phase" of the class doing techniques, forms, sets, weapons, etc. , then pick the pace up again just the last 5 minutes of class. Kicking shield drills with knees and elbows, just a couple of times across the room. Or maybe a real intense 5 minuted drill of "ripping" off techniques. Push a specific set, right side, left side, right side, left side aerobically.
Just so you realize whatever they feel at the end of class is what they walk away with. They remember the intensity at the end of class. Do this a couple of times a week and see if there are any comments about how good a class it was ... even if it was so-so, the end often matters more to the students than we, as instructors, are aware of. We also feel better after those kind of workouts.

Might I suggest, if no one else has: An inner school tournament?
It could be soley based on kata, or sparring, best self defense routine, even breaking. Offer small trophies, gift certificates!(Small entrance fee)
The catch is, Can you get Seig to get a crowbar to open that wallet of his?:rofl:
