What a wonderful book. Lawrence Kane has written a tremendous text that fills a big void in the martial arts genre. There are many books on how to punch and kick, but as the book title states, this one is about how to teach the martial arts. But it's not just for the teacher; there is plenty of solid information for the student, too. Kane discusses in a highly readable fashion: * Understanding learning style differences * Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to understand student predilections * Fostering a positive learning environment * Apply the six teaching styles to the martial arts * Lesson planning Just because a martial artist is a black belt or has earned several black belts, doesn't mean that person can teach. That is why this book is so needed. Martial Arts Instruction will help the teacher - new and veteran alike - be the best one he or she can be. I've been training the martial arts for 40 years and have written 18 books on the fighting arts. I found Martial Arts Instruction fresh, insightful, and highly informative. Most importantly, Kane's teaching ideas work. Highly recommended.
