I found some great games for education and maintaining student interest, loyalty and promote your martial arts school. I also found some points in the book, I think it could be improved.

The writing itself

I must admit, I was in sales related areas of more than 30 years. Aaron Perry knows how to write good sales copy. Not only that, he has knowledge of martial arts and the ability to transfer knowledge and experience to his fellow instructors martial arts. I think this skill has been taken into consideration as he developed the games of martial arts to help ensure learning, loyalty and even advertising, word of mouth and on match days in the middle of his students and invited the students.

I kept a suspicious attitude that I have read Martial Arts Games for children

With a background in physical education, I am very picky about the games being associated with the activity, in this case, the martial arts. When my son six years, I took him out of several schools of martial arts and observed classes of children. Each martial arts classes for children doing the same thing.

* Warm-up unrelated to martial arts training or self-defense. Incidentally one of my teaching physical education said these children have a high metabolism, they are not technically necessary to "warm up" before engaging in physical activity.

* The relay races of various types unrelated to martial arts training or self-defense. In the relay races students spent most of their time standing behind another student looking at the back of his head that it was engaging in the activity or watching. So much for the benefits of compliance.

* The last fifteen minutes or so were devoted to the effective enforcement of martial arts exercises. Unfortunately, in my experience in sales, is the last 15 minutes to remind parents, remains satisfied with the progress of their child. I can not say with certainty that the parents remained convinced that I have never asked about the martial arts schools U-turn or retention.

As both a professional educator and parent, I was appalled by what I consider to be a waste of time for students as well as waste of time and financial investment for parents.

When I finished reading Martial Arts Games for children
