Teachers Meeting 09/30/2015

I am trying to resume the meeting yesterday. Please read it all and make the changes necessary.

• All the teachers have to use a black shirt and clean (very clean ) abadas.
• You should not wear your teacher’s shirt to take class.
• The classes HAVE to start on time.
• You should be taking, at least, 3 classes of capoeira a week if your cord is under blue.
• you must follow the requirements posted. You can add as much as you want but make sure they know the suggestions
• We realized that our students are not physically up to the standards to play great capoeira. Try to make your classes more physically challenging, less technical, putting the physical and strength exercise in the beginning and tough cardio (at least 15 minutes) in the end of the class. Studies show that is the best and fastest way to get in shape.
• Instructors who are teaching capokids should NOT discipline them by using push-ups or any physical punishment. We don’t want our children to relate physical exercise with punishment. Adults do that. You can use time out or take away game time. Want work for the preschool is to let them sit down aside and count until 50 or 100. That prevents the child from being forgotten by the instructor.
• More simple kick sequences with a partner. Prevent them to cross kicks.

Remind me if I forgot anything we discussed last meeting. You have no idea how important you are for our group. You are my legs, arms and eyes. Remember that a group is only as strong as its leaders.

Thank you and Axe’
