At the very AWESOME Foreign Instructor's Course in Chicago in October, one of the course instructors says he teaches a "rotating curriculum" for all his gup rank students. In this style, all gup students (10th gup-1st gup) do the same form for 3 months, & then they change to a different form. So yellow belts will do Tae Guek Yuk Jang with blue & brown belts. The instructor asked if anyone else in the room teaches this way & a few (5-6 as I recall) raised their hands.
I can think of all sorts of reasons why this is a terrible idea for students. Starting with the fact that poomsae obviously means nothing for this instructor.
Has anyone else heard of or employed this sort of "rotating curriculum?" How did it work for you? Would you use this idea in your school?
