Black Belt
OK so I have been teaching a lot of years, I have had a number of decent generations of students. Some years ago I retired due to sickness.
Now I am doing better I was coaxed to come out of retirement and teach again. Just a small gig. weekly, in my basement. Very casual.
My students, just can't seem to get anything. Like for one can't show up sometimes, without notice. 2 I have redacted the 1st belt curriculum as it was obvious they are not getting it so I focused a little less on sometimes. Something as simple as a zenpo kaiten, months and they are still approaching it like they can't figure it out.
I don't get it. Normally with our 8th kyu, yellow. Which is just taihenjutsu It's always been kind of a gimmie grade. Ukemi, hrukiwaza, kamae, tobiwaza etc etc. Body basics. But, it's like they forget it all every class
Something I am doing is not doing it. I have to re look at things. Now as by the conversation they are all on ADHD meds. Seems to be a generational thing I guess. But I thought that would create Hyperfocus frankly
