S.T.O.R.M.

S.T.O.R.M. stands for Student Team of Role Models. S.T.O.R.M. is a group of our most outstanding students who take time to assist with the lower ranking classes. Members of S.T.O.R.M. focus on helping junior students in class – while learning vital teaching and public speaking skills. Many S.T.O.R.M. members advance to assistant instructor and instructor roles as they progress in their teaching ability.

There are many benefits of being a member of S.T.O.R.M., an Assistant Instructor and an Instructor. Training for this…

… develops basic teaching skills.

… develops skills in the Martial Arts

… to truly understand the Martial Arts, one must teach.

… develops basic communication and presentation skills.

… encourages maintenance of old curriculum. Repetition of old material develops mastery of movement.

… develops confidence - upon explaining material to a student, a clear distinction of each movement develops. With a clearer understanding, confidence and expertise grow.

… helps to develop mastery of emotion, and the ability to change one’s attitude at will.

… develops leadership and managerial skills.

There is no better feeling than that of giving to others and putting to use what one has learned in a positive way. This is all possible as a member of S.T.O.R.M.

I WILL TEACH THIS CLASS AS IF IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CLASS I WILL EVER TEACH.

I AM PATIENT AND ENTHUSIASTIC.

I LEAD BY EXAMPLE.
