Depending on where you are in your karate practice, becoming a karate master might take some time. But if you already have it in mind to become one or are interested but unsure of how to go about it, here are some things you need to know about becoming a martial arts master.
1. Mastering The Art
The teacher plays the most important role so be sure to choose to learn under someone who has enough experience to motivate you and teach you advanced skills.
With many people claiming to be masters or teachers it is sometimes difficult to find the right teacher. So, make sure you take your time, and root around for reviews from other students before joining a particular teacher.
2. Work Through Ranks
Ranks are descriptive of a person’s level of experience, and comes in belts of specific colors. Karate practitioners are considered proficient once they’ve earned the black belt, which is called the 1st Dan. This requires one to be 15 years old and needs to have undergone 3 years of training.
Working through the ranks not only builds your credibility as a practitioner, it also helps understand the value and skills needed to successfully perform the technique.
Gain Experience
It is hard to understand what it takes to be a teacher until you really are one, so look for situations as close to teaching as possible. This could mean you assist a karate teacher or work under a master, so that you have real-life experiences from which you can learn.
Before being a teacher you will need to work on your skills as a teacher. Being a good teacher requires excellent communication skills across all age groups, a patience working with students, and a genuine love for teaching.
