Yellow Belt format change complete
I am trying to overhaul my entire website which consists of about 150 pages so far, with the same amount waiting in the wings if I can ever complete stage 1.
One thing that I do each time I make big changes is add small changes as well. I don't tell my students about all these changes. Partially because sometimes there are so many that it isn't practical. The other reason is that I want to reward the ones that go back through the site.
I think that my site is underutilized right now. For those that take the time, they will actually learn more than those that just show up to the physical classes. The reason that I have a website, mailing list, blog, and message forum is because there just isn't enough time in the classroom to teach everything. I use all these other mediums to try and fill in the blanks left at class.
I post to the forums after almost every class with things that we covered (for the benefit of the other school) and with subjects that occurred to me that I didn't have to go over.
I suppose that a great deal depends on what the student wants to get out of the art. If you continue to show up and practice the physical moves, you can move through the different belt levels. For me thought, there is so much more involved in the martial arts.
