hey there...just looking for some feedback on teaching kenpo to kids. i'm getting ready to start teaching some kids' kenpo classes. every class i've ever taught before for kids has always been under another school, where we teach 'american karate (basically, a version of TKD).'
i always incorporated a few kenpo SD techs, but never taught the full system to anyone but adults. it just seems to me that a kid will not do as well remembering all the techniques involved. any ideas?? do you teach all the techniques?? or do you shave it to the basics??
i already have a policy that i will not promote anyone under 16 to BB, and in most circumstances, i will not allow them to advance beyond green...just wondering how you other instructors out there handle it??
thanks for the tips,
JB
