Martial Arts Instructors Desk Reference ReviewThe first part of this book is pretty much a rehash of materials covered in the author's other works, most of which are found in "Teaching Martial Arts: The Way of the Master" which is a pretty good text in and of itself. The drills, teaching tips, and classroom management techniques are useful. If you have already read "Teaching Martial Arts," the best part of the first section provides forty ways to disguise repetition. Those tips are creative and useful. There is a little more new material such as weapons training tips, safety concerns, (e.g., avoiding injuries, summer training and dehydration), and dealing with ADD issues with children.
The second half is probably what most folks thinking about this title are actually looking for. It covers public relations, marketing, student retention, instructor survival, hosting tournaments, and leadership. It is pretty well done though I was expecting more on developing business plans, financing, and other administrivia associated with actually operating a dojo rather than just teaching in one. If you run, or are thinking of running a commercial school this is a pretty good resource. If you are struggling with deeper issues such as how to make money from a traditional school without feeling like you are losing your soul then it falls a little short.
