LEADERSHIP

Students receive our Instructor Manual that explains how to lead a Jiu-Jitsu class from beginning to end as well as important information on how to handle most situations. Students will shadow the Instructor to gain confidence and then lead classes.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

Part of Leadership is developing the skill and confidence to stand up in front of a group and deliver a speech or teach a class.  The Leadership program will develop this skill in the student through instruction, demonstration, and opportunities to present to classes of peers and adults.  It will be instituted in a gradual manner so as not to cause the student undue stress.  This ability to speak comfortably in front of a group is an invaluable skill that will enhance most everyone’s career and advancement. In addition to speaking in front of a crowd.
