Trial Class Format Suggestion
From the Amazon Rainforest's Brazilian Indians!
It is crucial that you establish a safe and pleasant atmosphere for trial students during their first encounter in order to help them become permanent members.
We advise you to include the student fully in your regular class, covering all warm-up exercises, fundamental drills, and theme technique. However, avoid live sparring until the student is proficient enough in most situations to at least know what to do.
We have been using the "BOTTLE GAME" for more than 20 years, and it is the most effective, positive, and quick experience a new family attending your academy can have.
Ensure that your students are playing in a safe manner, refraining from using excessive force, and pair them with children of comparable size and strength. When using a plastic bottle, make sure the cap is off to release any trapped air, as this could cause harm to children should they fall onto the bottle and cause it to collapse.
Your students will often ask you to play the "Bottle Game" again, so you won't be using it just for trial classes. Thus, give them lots of "Bottle Game" rewards every now and then.
