Another Great Open House

Well we had another open house last night. Great class. But i'm not gonna tell about how cool it was to see all the new comers and all the fun people had, etc etc. No. Not here.

What I want to talk about is the "trainer team". As always, Sifu puts a lot of time, effort and energy into his students. I'm sure he puts in more than he gets out as many students have come and gone...newbies, intermediates and advanced students. Many have a change in career goals, or have a family, or simply want to take their hobbies into another direction. He puts in the time to build each person individually and, unfortunately, that person leaves. Of course, the connection is always there and the influence he's had on them will never be forgotten, but still...as a teacher, i think there's something to be said to see his/her own student make the finish line.

So came last night's open house. And there it was, incredibly apparent, that over the last few years, a good group of us guys make up a core of advanced/senior students - dubbed the "Trainer Team". I think this core is essential to every successful school. It's not required, but it does say something.

Now, it's up to the trainer team to take our own skills to the next level as the team, itself, represents the school.

But you can see it - the senior students were able to provide supplementary instruction to the new guys, to provide different scenarios for Sifu's explanations and to give variety of perspective with a common goal.

I'm really happy to see this. Can't wait for the team to get bigger and badder.

Until then.
