Serious martial arts students and instructors only please. In a system that has about 100 self defense techniques to black belt, Is it better to teach many different techniques off similar grabs (i.e. arm bar, wrist lock, and shoulder lock off of a wrist grab) or teach one defense against each type of grab (i.e. wrist grab, shoulder grab, choke)? I want my students to get a well rounded system. I have done both types but I am trying to figure out what works best for the majority.

If you could also tell me what the qualifications are to become a master and grand master, that would be great. I am trying to evaluate the school that I train at. Answers from all styles a welcome.

I recently met Shonie Carter in person and really liked him. I was wondering how other martial artists felt about him.

How would you say the following words in Korean? Eglish type and phonic pronunciation would be helpful.

Combat

Boxing

Kick Boxing

Self defense

Powerful and balanced self defense

I am only interested in your answer if you are or have been a martial arts/boxing/mma instructor.

I own a martial arts school. We have a MMA program. We spar every other week. In the past two years about 20 people have come in and wanted to "Spar" me on sparring nights. Most come in with a small crowd and a slight attitude. Only two have gotten the best of me.

I really like to spar and I teach six days a week so it is hard for me to go to other schools to train. How should I handle this?

Should I:

Keep sparring people that come in?

Charge them money and then spar them?

Try to arrange another place to spar them?

Make them sign up for classes and come for a month before they can spar?

Only spar at other places with a different instructor over seeing it?

Other ideas? Be as detailed as you would like.

For the record, I like to spar full contact because I enjoy it, not for my ego. I want everyone to walk out of my school healthy and ready to train the next day
