How to Teach a Kyusho Jitsu Class

Teach a Kyusho Jitsu Class

When it comes to teaching a Kyusho Jitsu Class live in a Dojo there are systems you really should use for optimum success. In other words a structure. Often times teachers get exciting and try to cram too much information into their Kyusho Jitsu Class. Therefore overwhelming students, and eventually losing them.

Go SLOW

Teachers often wish to impart far too much information too soon on their students. They worry that if this is not done the student will grow bored. 

This is the furthest thing from the truth! Take your time, and make sure the student really understands the materials

The First Lesson of a Kyusho Jitsu Class

Kyusho Jitsu Class

In the first lesson you will spend a lot of time explaining how your program works.

Then begin to feed them some of the course materials. I suggest a 2.5 hour class.

You can go shorter, but do not go longer!

I had an instructor years ago who loved to teach, and he would get very exciting about what he was doing. The class would go overtime, and then attendance began to suffer. People, students have other things on their plates. Always remember that!

You never want someone looking at their watch! You want them to be surprised how fast the time went! 

Kyusho Jitsu Class Session Breakdown

Here is an example of a Kyusho Jitsu class breakdown:

  1. Go ever entire program outline
  2. Resuscitation Techniques for Head, Lung and Heart
  3. Cycle of Destruction (Ko Cycle)
  4. Meridians of the Upper Extremities
  5. Arms points H6 and LU8

If you take your time, teach slowly and work directly with each student, this will take about 3 hours.
